Cannes. Volevo Solo Vivere.

Lee Marshall in Screen Daily: "Mimmo Calopresti's homage to the almost 6,000 Italian Jews who died in Hitler's death camps, and the 837 who returned alive, Volevo Solo Vivere spins a moving story out of sensitively sifted and edited archive material."

Variety's Jay Weissberg calls it "a simple, straightforward and devastating portrait of nine Italian Jews deported to Auschwitz, each recounting wrenching memories with searing clarity."
