Movie Reviews of The Children of Chabannes

Movie Review: A touching Holocaust documentary and a testament to the good in ordinary people
Summary: 4 Stars

"The Children of Chabannes" is a compelling documentary that focusses on the heroic acts by the villagers of Chabannes in unoccupied France who helped save the lives of German-Jewish refugee children. Filmmaker Lisa Gosells' documentary is quite personal as her father and uncle were two of those Jewish children saved from the Nazis.

Between 1939 and 1943, Chabannes was the location of choice by the Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants, or OSE, a Jewish social service organisation that placed 400 German-Jewish children at an old chateau under Feliz Chevrier, a non-Jew. The children ranged in age between 2 and 17. Though Chevrier died in 1962, some of his colleagues and secretary are featured in this documentary. Most notably featured are the Paillassou sisters who were schoolteachers, Rachel Pludermacher, the first teacher recruited by the OSE to instruct Jewish refugee children and many other remarkable people.

The documentary is very engaging as it features accounts by the surviving children and of course, the amazing and courageous townspeople who risked everything to protect them. It is a testament to a community that refused to give in to the Nazi tyrants - simple, ordinary people who did extraordinary good things in a horrific time.
