Story of Annette Zelman (2022)

Description

It’s 1942 in Nazi-occupied Paris. Annette Zelman is a 20-year-old Jewish art student who falls in love with Jean Jausion, her Catholic classmate. The pair dream of building a life together. But Jean’s parents are opposed to the match—and ultimately denounce Zelman to the Gestapo, which deports her to Auschwitz. A World War II Romeo and Juliet story with an equally tragic ending, The Story of Annette Zelman plumbs the depths of human passion, prejudice, and betrayal. Based on actual events told in the book Juifs sous l’Occupation (Informing on Jews during the Occupation) by Laurent Joly.
