Please join the JCC for a special screening followed by a panel discussion with director of the film Rose Bosch and star of the film Melanie Laurent.
Melanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds, Beginners) and Jean Reno (The Da Vinci Code, The Professional) star in this gripping film about the infamous Vel' d'Hiv Roundup. Two days after Bastille Day in 1942, French police carried out an extensive raid of Jews in Greater Paris. More than 13,000 people were arrested, consigned to Paris' Velodrome d'Hiver stadium, shipped to internment camps within France, and finally to Auschwitz. Long a taboo subject in France--Jacques Chirac issued a public apology only in 1995--the raid and its political backdrop are brought to stirring life in writer-director Rose Bosch's detailed script, which she based on extensive research and first-hand accounts.
