In an exclusive interview from Paris with THR, the director recalls the spiraling darkness of a childhood ravaged by the Holocaust, the loss of his mother at Auschwitz, his father’s pain and what liberation felt like.
In an exclusive interview conducted Dec. 4, Polanski offered a detailed testimonial of his childhood in Poland and his wartime experiences — and how they impacted his filmmaking. The hourlong conversation, which took place over the phone while the filmmaker was in Paris, did not touch on the Polish appeals court ruling, announced one week earlier, that Polanski would not be extradited to the U.S.
In 1943, Polanski escaped the Krakow Ghetto and assumed the name Romek Wilk and lived in the countryside, aided by a family that had known his father, pretending to be a Christian boy. “I survived because I did not look very much like a Jew,” says Polanski. “Particularly when I was a kid, I definitely looked like a lot of kids in Poland.
