CLAUDE LANZMANN z"l (1925-2018) was a French filmmaker whose most renowned work, SHOAH (1985), is a nine-and-a-half-hour oral history of the Holocaust and broadly considered to be the foremost film on the subject. It was made without the use of any historical footage, and used only first-person testimony from perpetrators and victims, and contemporary footage of Holocaust-related sites. The director also published the complete text, including in English translation, with introductions by Lanzmann and Simone de Beauvoir.
In 2009 he published his memoirs under the title THE PATAGONIAN HARE. It is the story of a man who searched at every moment for existential adventure, who committed himself deeply to what he believed in, and who made his life a battle. It was awarded the prestigious Welt-Literaturpreis in Germany.
Lanzmann died on 5 July 2018 at his Paris home, aged 92. His death came one day after the theatrical release of Les Quatre Soeurs (The Four Sisters), which features testimonials from four Holocaust survivors not included in his Shoah.
