Early concentration camps in the focus of the camera
Adult education centre: Film evening followed by a discussion on 5 November, 5 to 8.15 pm, TIETZ, event hall
On Friday, 5 November, from 5 to 8.15 pm, the Chemnitz Adult Education Centre invites you to a film screening followed by a discussion in the TIETZ event hall. The documentary film "Zustand und Gelände" by director Ute Adamczewski, who has won several awards at festivals, will be shown and will be present.
Admission is free. Due to the limited number of seats, registration is recommended at www.vhs-chemnitz.de or by telephone on 0371 488-4343.
This film shows in long film sequences the current state of places of early National Socialist terror. The images are accompanied by quotes from documents that the director found in local archives. These include letters of application, arrest and interrogation records. The film allows viewers to engage with the topic of National Socialism, in particular the history of the early concentration camps in Saxony and the various cultures of remembrance after 1945. Following the film screening, those involved in commemorative work in Chemnitz will comment on the lack of remembrance that still exists today.
The event is a co-operation between the Geschichtswerkstatt Sachsenburg and the ASA-FF e. V./Offener Prozess and the Volkshochschule Chemnitz.
