Adolescent years in concentration camps
Marceline Rosenberg was the daughter of wealthy Polish Jews who immigrated to France in 1919. In 1943, the fifteen-year-old was arrested together with her father Solomon in the Vaucluse department ( southern France ) and on April 13, 1944, was deported on the 71st transport to Auschwitz , where she lost a total of 45 relatives. When the Red Army approached at the beginning of 1945, she was driven on a death march and initially held prisoner in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp . She was liberated in May 1945 at the age of seventeen in the Theresienstadt ghetto . Her mother and four siblings were not deported and survived in France.

In July 1945 Marceline Rosenberg returned to France. There she married Francis Loridan, a young civil service engineer who worked far away. After a few years she divorced him and continued to use his last name. She began her collaboration (as an assistant) with various documentary film directors , including Jean Rouch and Joris Ivens , under the name Marceline Loridan . The latter later became her husband. For some of his documentaries she was involved in both the direction and the writing of the script .
Occasionally Marceline Loridan also appeared in front of the camera as an actress , also at the side of Hanna Schygulla and Jean-Paul Belmondo . In 2002, Marceline Loridan processed her own youth in the concentration camp with Birkenau and Rosenfeld , her first completely own production with a play story and at the same time the first feature film that was allowed to be shot on the former camp grounds of Auschwitz-Birkenau .
