LASS VERSCHWINDET - Das mögliche Leben der Louisa Aslanian

What remains of a poet whose work is almost erased? Authors Anouschka Trocker and Marie Chartron embark on a search for a forgotten life that began in Iran and ended in Ravensbrück concentration camp.

She was a young Armenian writer, feminist and resistance fighter whose trail is lost in the history of the Second World War. Little remains of her: initially there is only a photo and an entry in an Armenian anthology. And her pseudonym: Lass.

Who was Lass? And what brought her from distant Iran, where she was born, to Paris and, as an Armenian, to the Resistance? In the Ravensbrück concentration camp, she wrote a poem about Auschwitz, the camp of horror, about which only rumors reached her. It is a desperate call to fight and an ode to courage.
