27th january, International Holocaust Remembrece Day. Ontem foi o dia internacional da lembrança das vítimas do holocausto. 1945 marcou a liberação do maior campo de extermínio nazista, Auschwitz - Birkenau que consistia em uma fábrica de matar pessoas. Essa crueldade do passado existe ainda hoje em muitas pessoas, em muitas nações. Dia de reflexão. Com potências mundiais poderosas sendo comandadas por gente insana é impossível não olhar pra esse passado recente e horrível e não sentir pavor. Ontem também, foi o presidente Trump assinou uma ordem pra suspender as admissões de refugiados nos EUA. Nacionalismo, fascismo, muros, intolerância, terrorismo, golpes... Não é preciso olhar lá pra fora pra ver escrotidão sendo feita por quem tá no poder, e sendo dita por quem tem a responsabilidade de colocar essa gente no poder, não é mesmo? Cuidado. Tava aqui pensando nessas coisas e nem sei explicar o que senti, mas eu resumo com: temor. Fev, 2014 #poland #auschwitz70 #cracow (em Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Poland)

"One thing worse than Auschwitz itself would be if we forget that a place like this ever existed," Roman Kent, survivor. This image was made at the Auschwitz Museum, in a room filled with thousands of shoes, the victims of the camp's gas chambers. The legacy of the Holocaust was my primary motivation for becoming a conflict photographer at the beginning of my career. While I was influenced by the documentation of Rwanda, the Balkans, and Chechnya - events that occurred in my own lifetime - it was the horror of man's ability to attempt the systematic destruction of Jews - of my own family - that pushed me towards photography and documentation. While my life has certainly changed, as has the Photojournalism industry, and I find myself shooting less conflict, I'm still reminded daily that we have a responsibility to document the good and the bad, to show people what goes on in the violent corners of the world that they would rather forget and deny. #auschwitz #auschwitz70 #photojournalism #documentary

Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi

Documentary - Primo Levi, Back to Auschwitz 【1 of 2】 【2 of 2】

Back to Auschwitz (Part 1 & 2). This is a documentary broadcast by the Italian State Television, Rai, in 1983. Captions were added by me. The English translation is by Mirto Stone and was taken here.

I feel like no one's realizing that only 300 survivors of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp remain and that, in a few years, they'll be no survivors left and I just feel so uncomfortable with that fact. Thinking that no story telling in the future will have the same impact again, not coming from the survivors mouths.

Inviato di Matrix rimane rinchiuso ad Auschwitz - Libero Pensiero

Ma LOL. Ad Auschwitz c'era Parenzo e il fumo saliva lento nel freddo giorno d'inverno e adesso sono nel vento.
