The October issue of the French-language movie magazine Cahiers du Cinéma features a very long interview with documentary film-maker Claude “Shoah” Lanzmann to mark the October 17 release of his new film, “Sobibor, 14 octobre 1943, 16h.” […]

Also of interest is an odd passage concerning “the geese of Treblinka.”

Lanzmann: “These gaggles of geese were placed there in order to mask the cries of Jews who were being killed [nearby].”
