Ich Bin Jude! Ich Bin Jude! Jewish Youth Movements' Resistance In Occupied France

Movies
The film recounts the resistance of Jewish youth movements in France during WWII, particularly the Jewish Scouts of France (EIF) and the Zionist Youth Movement (MJS), in response to German occupation and especially to the anti-Jewish laws and oppressions set in place by the occupant. They saved Jewish lives by thousands and then joined the French Resistance as distinct Jewish combat units. The entire story is told only by those who lived it. Filmed between 1997 and 2004, these interviews alone constitute a unique and irreplaceable archive.
