ANTISEMITISM
Released December 10 2021
A film by Ilan Ziv
Produced by Paul Cadieux, Céline Nusse, Paul Rozenberg and Ilan Ziv
Director Ilan Ziv traces the origins of antisemitism in France from the Middle Ages to the Dreyfus Affair. Combining personal and collective narratives, Ziv showcases how the depiction of “the Jew” in society established an ideology of hate that eventually led to the Holocaust. In the aftermath of the war, a devastated France continued this ideology of antisemitism that set the stage for a modern wave of anti-Jewish sentiment and attacks, including the murders of Ilan Halimi and Mireille Knoll.

“Antisemitism is a pure lesson in morality, in ethics, so that the memory persists and the phenomenon is silenced once and for all. A title carried in the plural since its forms are multiple, complex, disconcerting and they manifest themselves at the most inopportune moments.”
