January 1953: On the eve of his death Stalin finds himself yet another imaginary enemy: Jewish doctors. He organizes the most violent anti-Semitic campaign ever launched in the USSR, by fabricating the "Doctors' Plot," whereby doctors are charged with conspiring to murder the highest dignitaries of the Soviet Regime. Still unknown and untold, this conspiracy underlines the climax of a political scheme successfully masterminded by Stalin to turn the Jews into the new enemies of the people. It reveals his extreme paranoia and his compulsion to manipulate those around him. The children and friends of the main victims recount for the first time their experience and their distress related to these nightmarish events.

La démocratie est en crise, le pays se fissure et notre boussole politique s’est démagnétisée. Le diagnostic ne trompe pas : le débat public se crispe sur l’identité nationale, les valeurs républicaines et la laïcité tandis que la participation électorale décline… Tout indique que le processus de fabrication de la nation et des citoyens libres semble bloqué.
