Michel Marx recounts how the Holocaust shaped his childhood and his family quest
The screenwriter and author appears on the podcast "With Judith" on France 24, reflecting on his family's Holocaust legacy and his exchanges with Simone Veil and Ginette Kolinka.
Screenwriter and author Michel Marx was the guest of Judith Grimaldi on her weekly podcast "With Judith," broadcast on France 24, according to the program description published Saturday.
According to this description, part of Michel Marx's family perished during the Holocaust, an event whose repercussions marked his entire childhood. He explains that in his family circle, "everything in the organization of daily life was connected to the Holocaust," even though his parents did not go into the details of this tragedy.
Based on the program summary, this family burden long weighed on his parents, though it was never explicitly discussed within the household. Michel Marx indicates that for several years, he has been working to piece together the fragments of this family history, which he compares to a puzzle.
This personal quest led him to speak with two prominent figures in the memory of the Holocaust in France, Simone Veil and Ginette Kolinka, whose paths are connected to those of Michel Marx's close relatives who perished, the interview description notes.
The program "With Judith," hosted each week by Judith Grimaldi, features interviews with various guests on France 24.
