Disparitions

Annotation

These are field recordings from a trip to Krakow / Auschwitz-Birkenau.
It’s hard to say if you can ever be ready to visit extermination camps. Prior to this journey some books have been read, related to the experience of camps. Some of them changed me, here’s a selected list :
Jean Améry : At the Mind’s Limits: Contemplations by a Survivor on Auschwitz and Its Realities
Robert Antelme – L’espèce Humaine
Charlotte Delbo’s trilogy : None of Us Will Return, Useless Knowledge and The Measure of Our Days
Georges Didi-Huberman – Écorces
David Rousset – L’Univers Concentrationnaire
