Shoah: Four Sisters (French: Les quatre soeurs) is a 2017 French documentary film by Claude Lanzmann, his final film prior to his death in 2018. A continuation of his acclaimed 1985 film Shoah, Four Sisters chronicles four women – Paula Biren, Ruth Elias, Ada Lichtman and Hanna Marton – who, after escaping the concentration camps, tried to find a life after the Holocaust. Lanzmann traveled around four Eastern European countries, interviewing and got accounts from four separate women.
It premiered at the 2017 New York Film Festival, and first aired on TV as a four-part series on January 23, 2018. Shoah: Four Sisters was shortlisted for France's entry in the Best Documentary Feature at the 91st Academy Awards.
