Avez-vous vu le film "La vie est belle" de Benigni ? Vous savez, l'histoire de ce juif déporté dans un camp de concentration, et qui réussi à cacher son fils dans le camp ? Vous aussi, vous avez trouvé le film touchant, mais pas réaliste ?
Eh bien, même si Benigni lui-même ne le savait pas à l'époque, cette histoire est VRAIE, ou du moins s'est réellement produite, et n'a été révélée qu'en 1999 (soit 2 ans après la sortie du film).
"Joseph Schleifstein (born March 7, 1941) is a Polish-born American who survived Buchenwald concentration camp at the age of four, one of the youngest to survive the Holocaust. He was hidden by his father in a large sack, enabling him to avoid detection by SS guards when arriving at the camp. Other prisoners helped his father keep him hidden and Schleifstein survived until the Americans liberated the camp. After the war, Schleifstein and his parents emigrated to the United States. He did not discuss his wartime experiences for decades, even with his children. His case was discovered by chance in 1999, leading to a search for him and an eventual newspaper interview." - From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Schleifstein
