Dr Anna Hájková was interviewed by Nicolas Weill for Le Monde about Claude Lanzmann’s recent documentary on Benjamin Murmelstein, the last Elder of the Jews of Theresienstadt. Murmelstein was one of the very few Jewish functionaries to survive the war and many survivors bitterly accused him of collaboration. Dr Hájková was the first historian to use Lanzmann’s video archives in the USHMM in 2007 and has widely published and presented her research on Murmelstein.
