Vento Di Primavera

All the characters in this film are real. All the events, even the most extreme, really took place.
1942. Joseph Weismann is 11 years old. On the morning of June 6, 1942, he must go to school with a yellow star stitched to his chest. The new anti-Jewish decree of the French government has come into force. Like all Jews in France, Jo learns that he is banned from parks, cinemas, fairgrounds and public gardens...
But still, this sounds like happiness to Jo and his family.
Until dawn on July 16, 1942, when this fragile happiness is shattered... At 4 a.m., shouts and banging on doors. Men in black uniforms burst into apartments. Jo and his family are hauled out of their beds and herded onto buses... by French gendarmes! To the great despair of a community deeply attached to their new homeland.
13,000 Jews are crammed into the Winter Velodrome in Paris. The biggest round up in History perpetrated by.... French police! Five days without water, food or healthcare. Dr. Sheinbaum, (Jean Reno ) rounded-up with the others, does what he can. Annette Monod (Melanie Laurent), a protestant Red Cross nurse, is appalled by the racism of her country's government of collaborators.

From Paris to the terrace of the Berghof, where Hitler and Eva Braun throw parties for Aryan children while Jewish children are being sent to death camps; from smoky government offices where the fate of France's Jews is decided to the camps of shame, The Round-Up charts the real-life destiny of
the victims and their persecutors.
Lives destroyed, lives saved.
Like Jo,'s who escapes with another boy.
While all the others are loaded onto a train for Auschwitz...
