Argentinian Luis Puenzo, director of The Official Story made Some Who Lived as from the statements of survivors who settled in Argentina and from the scenes on file. Puenzo also dwells on existing connections, in some of the darker moments in the history of Argentina, with the genocide, such as an affinity between President Juan Perón and the Nazi regime, in that he was responsible for the admittance into the country of many war criminals. “I opted to prioritize the statements from a score of survivors. Each survivor tells his own story and, together, they make up a chorus of voices. We must be aware that the Holocaust might well occur again anywhere”, says the director. Historian Haim Avni acted as adviser for the documentary.
