The Jews of the Others 1

Nazi propaganda surviving in fragments, staging the camp as a retirement home for Jewish “resettlers”. The prisoner and conscripted co-director Kurt Gerron died in the gas chamber.

Material from the Nazi Jewish transit camp Westerbork. Every road from here lead to death, including for the cameraman. Farocki analyzes the silent sequences: surgery on the narrative.

The Buchenwald Memorial was the first national memorial of the GDR. From 1961 to 1975, every memorial tour began with this introductory film, in which the Jewish victims are barely mentioned.
