Marceline Loridan-Ivens (née Rozenberg; 19 March 1928[1] – 18 September 2018[2] ) was a French writer and film director. Her memoir But You Did Not Come Back details her time in Auschwitz-Birkenau.[3] She was married to Joris Ivens.[4]
Biography
[edit ]Marceline Rozenberg was born to Polish Jewish parents who emigrated to France in 1919. At the beginning of World War II, her family settled in Vaucluse,[5] where she joined the French Resistance. She and her father, Szlama, were captured by the Gestapo [6] [7] and deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau by Convoy 71 on 13 April 1944,[8] along with Simone Veil [9] [10] and Anne-Lise Stern, then to Bergen-Belsen, and eventually to Theresienstadt. The camp was liberated on 10 May 1945.[11] by the Red Army.
She married [when? ] Francis Loridan, an engineer. Years later they divorced, but she was allowed to keep his surname.[12]
She met figures such as Henri Lefebvre and Edgar Morin,[13] worked in the reprographic service of a polling institute, was bag carrier for the Algerian National Liberation Front, and frequented Saint-Germain-des-Prés [14]
In 1961, Edgar Morin cast her in the film Chronique d'un été , thus making her film debut. In 1963, she met and married the documentary director Joris Ivens. She assisted him in his work and co-directed some of his films, including 17th Parallel: Vietnam in War (1968).[15] They left together for Vietnam, where they met Ho Chi Minh.[14]
From 1972 to 1976, during the Cultural Revolution, Joris Ivens and Marceline Loridan worked in China and directed How Yukong Moved the Mountains , a series of 12 films[16] Criticized by Jiang Qing, they had to quickly leave China.[17]
Loridan-Ivens gave lectures and testimonies in colleges and high schools on the Holocaust.[14]
