I remember an account of new arrivals at Auschwitz, I can’t remember exactly from where, possibly from Wieslaw Kieler’s <i>Anus Mundi</i>, passed by a lorry containing the naked bodies of the dead. The arms were hanging over the side, waving, as the author puts it, ‘a gruesome farewell’. The people screamed in shock and horror, but no sooner had it passed than they edited out of their minds, as if it had never happened.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-31484071351208991292011-01-23T15:28:23.991-08:002011-01-23T15:28:23.991-08:00Mario, I agree with you.

And people must avoid dictatorship, no believe in false promises, not let them have power, be careful with their own army, live in democracy. Many documentaries are fantastic, they show us the history that we must not forget, the cinema to the service of the learning. A kiss.

They are simple me, uneducated men, peasants filled with a sense of horror over their own past, convinced that they will suffer repeated retribution in the afterlife.
