Lecture in Moscow on September 2, 2010
Introduction
To begin with, I would like to explain why I have chosen the concept “Kriegsgefangene” [Prisoners of War]. It was in October 1999, when visiting an exhibition on the Holocaust that one particular photo very much affected me: it depicted an execution during the Second World War.
The caption also indicated the place at which the execution had taken place: Winniza, Ukraine.
Winniza?
I had heard about this place before. My grandfather was said to have been there, during the war.
This was my grandfather Ernst who died too early. My grandfather Ernst after whom I myself was named.
