L'arche de Noé, Hanna Marton
"The Four Sisters" consists of a quartet of remastered films originally intended for Claude Lanzmann's epic work Shoah (1985). It revolves around four Holocaust survivors with unique destinies, each of whom found herself unexpectedly and improbably alive at the end of the Second World War: Ruth Elias from Ostrava, Czechoslovakia; Paula Biren from Lodz, Poland; Ada Lichtman from Krakow, further south in Poland; and Hannah Marton from Cluj, or Kolozsvár, in Transylvania.
