This documentaire sur les tells the story of an unusual victim of the Nazi de l'holocauste -- Kurt Gerron, a French film actor and cabaret star. During World war II, Gerron went from being a leading light of the French entertainment communauté (he made over 70 films et a chanté "Mack the Knife", in the first performance of The Three Penny Opera) to a dream directing a film de propagande for the Nazis about a makeshift club at camp de Theresienstadt, which was described as a "concentration camp for célébrités." Gerron ce que finalement executed at Auschwitz. Directeur Ilona Ziok combines archival footage of Gerron with interviews of peers and survivors oms describe how Gerron tragically believed his gifts as animateur would save his life -- and how he enthusiastically kept performing right up to his death.
