Every year in November the jewish community in munich/germany organizes a reading of the

names of all of the 316 jewish children that where token to concentration camps

and killed by the nazis.

Children from different schools in munich read the names of the jewish children

in the old munich cityhall - the same place where the initial order for the

Reichspogromnacht was given.

on this picture you see this old lady while in the mirror you see the image

from the passport of a murdered jewish girl. the passportimages still had the

swastika on it - it made me feel like: this children where marked by the nazis,

even after their dead. i decided to capture the speakerbox too - to me its like

the second "authority" the old lady cant hide from: she can cover her eyes but

she still hear the names...

i wasnt shure if i should submit it to "noir", because its a very sad topic, but thats what "noir" can be also about, right?
