Writers on the Borders - A Journey to Palestine(s)

Following the appeal of the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, founding member of the International Parliament of Writers besieged in Ramallah, a delegation of writers went there to demonstrate alongside the Palestinians a "beautiful linguistic collaboration" in these "high places of spirituality” (Ramallah in Arabic) where the Israeli program of humiliation is also a “verbicidal war”. “We want to listen and make other voices heard in the din of war, that of writers, artists, academics, all those who are preparing for the future... Opposing the logic of war, not a force of "interposition but INTERPRETATION FORCES", says the French writer Christian Salmon, member of this international delegation.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
