  • This is my work about the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial in Cracow.
    Following my “The Sound Of” project, this is my own interpretation of the sounds of this horrible place, full of negative feelings and strange emotions.
    This is actually my attempt to describe how the experience in a museum could be more powerful and engaging if lived in an immersive way throughout sounds, images and suggestions.

    I visited this place during the month of may (full spring). There were NO sounds of birds there, even though there were trees all over the place. The grounds are forever haunted. You can FEEL the doom in the air.

    • @simonsmatthew
      @simonsmatthew Před rokem +1

      The music was not necessary, but was well chosen I think. I would imagine for arrivals it was a very confusing and disorienting situation, as well as obviously horrifying. After being in a train for days locked up with no light or air people might have noticed blue skies as well as the screams and dogs. It is part of the bewilderment. I would imagine many just went blank. The music gave a sense of fatalism that faced the victims - especially children - a situation unimaginable and impossible to understand or control.

    I've been studying the Holocaust for a few years, and "the deeper", that I dive into the work of the accounts of those who survived, academic scholars....etc. The one burning question that haunts with the most intensity is; " How can there possibly be a god that would allow mankind's hatred to run so far out of control?" Answer; there isn't any god, or gods, it's all a massive socially constructed sets of mythology. That the Western World took, basically, as a set of morals, divinely inspired lessons, if you will, to teach, as well a means to suppress the fear of death.

    Extremely powerful. Even with the incredible amount of documentation, it’s appallingly easy to self-protect by going numb, even for the most sensitive of audiences. Appealing to 1-2 of the 5 senses like this brings the human element, the unimaginable tragedy, roaring back. It’s hard to listen to, but it gives me hope that even though we’re losing our living, breathing resources to the inevitable march of time, we’ll still be able to carry their stories forward to future generations.

    Its difficult to replicate the sound of terror of an efficient machinery of mass murder-- but I suspect the dog barks at the beginning - perhaps with shouting of insults the blows of clubs , canes and whips accompanied by the mass screams and cries of panicked victims reacting to the sheer terror, but frequently it must have been the victims forced to go to their deaths in silence being told to hurry as the coffee or water would get cold and being ordered to undress and tie their shoes together

      @@Li-rw1ih I'm glad you mentioned the slave trade and I'm glad you mentioned the generational effects it has. Just like the Holocaust. Psychologists estimate at least three generations, to heal the toxic effects upon the subsequent generations. I'd urge the OP to watch the clip of the woman who regularly woke up her husband screaming - she was back at the camp. Look into the eyes of the Holocaust survivor - have you noticed they are _broken_ ? That sadness ruined everything for them. The capacity for joy was taken from them and it affected their ability to parent. It fostered a sense of impending doom and mistrust which taught their children to live their lives the same way. We do what we see our parents do.
      Please read the work of Gunter Grass who was called the conscience of Germany. The awful truth is that the Holocaust was carried out with the complicity of the German people who had been taught to hate. Watch the anti-semitic publicity campaign films pushed by Goebbels and co, in the decade leading-up to WW2. Watch the still photos of Jewish women being raped on the streets of Eastern Europe - the youths casually knocking-over women and laughing. Grown men doing nothing to help. You can see the women's distress it is horrifying.
      My mother, now in her late 70s, a white British woman ( not the type of person you'd call "woke", believe me ) used to go to bed frightened for black children trying to go to school in the newly desegregated South in the U.S.A. She'd been listening to the radio and worrying for them. Even though she lived in a fairly racist society herself. She probably _was_ a racist, but thought what was happening in the U.S. was _taking things too far._
      You sound young, when you're a little older, you'll realise all of this wasn't so long ago. It's outrageous that the barbarisim of the Holocaust happened in 1940s _civilised_ Germany. Building the train tracks..."Work Sets you Free" the _planning_ of it all. Or black children being burnt alive in an 1963 Alabama church. Watch Oprah's friend Iyanla talk about being spat at by "white folks" as she was trying to enter a mixed educational establishment. Not so long ago and could happen again tomorrow. In England, Polish workers do not have an easy time of it because of Brexit etc.
      At this moment in time, Germany is probably less racist than my own country of Great Britain. So I'm not being smug, but with respect, the fact that this type of film makes you feel bad as a German / Eastern European doesn't negate the necessity of learning these lessons. Could all happen tomorrow.
