Respite

Aufschub, G 2007, directed by Harun Farocki, 40 min, rated: 12

In 1944, thousands of Jews waited in the Dutch Nazi transit camp Westerbork to be deported to Auschwitz, Sobibór and other concentration camps. Before his murder, one of the inmates, cameraman Rudolf Breslauer, was commissioned to film everyday life in Westerbork. Harun Farocki assembled the material a good sixty years later and reflects on the portrayal of victims and the significance of images.
