Genres Documentary
Themes Documentary films about war, Documentary films about historical events, Documentary films about World War II

Noirs dans les camps nazis est un document sur un drame jusqu’ici méconnu de la seconde guerre mondiale : la déportation des noirs dans les camps de concentration. Parce qu’ils étaient aussi résistants, engagés dans les combats ou simplement ramassés au hasard d’une rafle, de nombreux Africains, Antillais, Américains ou Européens noirs ont connu cet enfer. Eux aussi ont souffert à Dachau, Mauthausen ou Auschwitz, où ils étaient sujets aux pires humiliations. À travers des témoignages de survivants recueillis en Allemagne, Belgique, Espagne, France et au Sénégal, ce film rend hommage à tous ces hommes et apporte un éclairage supplémentaire pour célébrer le soixantième anniversaire de la libération des camps nazis.

Jean-Pierre Melville, born Jean-Pierre Grumbach, was of Alsatian Jewish descent. Having to flee Nazi-occupied France during World War II, he joined the French Resistance and took the pseudonym Melville, in tribute to American novelist Herman Melville. He subsequently retained his war name as his stage name, once the war was over. This personal experience of the war and in particular of resistance fighting impacted Melville's formative year and has an influence which can be seen in his films.
