It was a bit different - it was still harrowing (he did end up in Auschwitz, thankfully he survived and was able to tell his tale) but it was also a very personal story about a young lad who initially was evacuated from Austria to Belgium (and to cut a long story short) managed to get a faked passport that didn't say he was Jewish and fled to the red light district in Paris and ended up playing piano in brothels and being a member of the French Resistance before he was arrested (having been betrayed to the authorities by a woman he had a fling with and had told her he was Jewish and in the resistance - if no film has been made about this, it really ought to be) - he was a bit of a 'lad' in his youth with plenty of odd stories to tell, that really comes though in the documentary. A right character!
