Description
On March 1, 1995, at the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, ARTE (a French-German state-funded television network) proposed an encounter between two highly regarded figures of our time: Elie Wiesel and Jorge Semprún. These two men, whose destinies were unparalleled, probably had crossed paths, without ever meeting, in the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald in 1945. This short book is the entire transcription of their recorded conversation.
