Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, “Le Chemin des Juifs: The Path Between Silence and Survival” revisits a little-known chapter of Holocaust history in Northern France. Along this quiet 4km road near Hardelot, Belgian Jews were forced into labour between 1942 and 1944 to build the Atlantic Wall. Among them was seventeen-year-old David Shentow of Antwerp. He had survived the Nazi occupation of
Belgium, a forced-labour camp, the Auschwitz concentration camp, the Warsaw Ghetto, a death march, and Dachau. LINK: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/international-holocaust-remembrance-day-le-
