Screening of the film “Equipes Nationales, ils sont gentils les gosses” (“National Teams, they’re nice kids”)
July 18, 2020 at the Normandy Victory Museum
This Saturday, July 18, 2020, the film crew came to present this moving docu-drama that traces the journey of young rescue workers during the German occupation of the city of Le Havre.
After viewing the film, visitors had the opportunity to chat with the team and ask questions. We were particularly moved to welcome 93-year-old Henriette Leprovost, who had come to the museum to share her story and experience with our visitors.
Témoignage de Lili, une spectatrice :
Documentaire offrant une vision d’un pan méconnu de l’histoire du Havre. un bel hommage au dévouement, à l’altruisme. L’émotion y est juste et emplie d’humanisme. un grand merci à toute l’équipe et surtout un grand respect pour ces « passeuses d’histoire qui auront su nous transmettre leurs richesses entre rires et larmes. Lili
