Holocaust survivors and local officials gather in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt on Tuesday to pay homage to the Pikovsky family, whose story was uncovered in an award-winning documentary by FRANCE 24 journalist Stéphanie Trouillard.
In 2010, a collection of wartime letters and photographs was discovered in an old cupboard at a high school in Paris. Forgotten for years, the letters were written by a former pupil, Louise Pikovsky, to her beloved school teacher during World War Two.
The discovery led to an award-winning documentary by FRANCE 24 journalist Stéphanie Trouillard, recounting the story of the Pikovsky family, who were deported from their home in Paris and sent to the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz.
