Armand Schmidt’s story is one of survival, courage, and resistance in the face of unthinkable danger. It is the true story of a Jewish child, hidden in a Catholic institution during the Holocaust to escape persecution, deportation and death. He will explore life before, during and after World War II and the Holocaust, using original photographs and historical documents, pieces of memory, alternating historical background information linked to personal and family events.
Armand Schmidt is a Holocaust survivor, who was hidden in a Catholic institution, Institut Enfant Jésus in Belgium as a child. He is a journalist, who is currently studying Jewish ‘lost tribes’. He has presented his incredible story of survival across the world, and will be doing so in South Africa for the first time.
