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.
