Abstract |
60 survivors are interviewed, 52 in Israel and 8 in Poland. They want to bare witness on the extermination, trying to find a way that gives justice to the murdered and also obligates the living. They tell about various ways to kill a person. While searching for answers, Fruchtmann concentrates on the faces of the survivors. |
