There is no secret, after all. No reason to discuss these things out loud, but there’s no secret. der Garten im Schrank (“the Garden in the Closet”) explores the question of collective memory and contributes to the memorial series, “Remember for the Future” of the District of Mariahilf, seventy years after 1938. Presented under the Honorary Patronage of Vienna Chief Rabbi Paul Chaim Eisenberg and Vienna Arch Bishop Cardinal Christoph Schönborn with generous support from prestigious institutions and community enterprises. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - VIDEOSPreview // Part I Preview // Part II Production Video Trailer TV Teaser I // Cries TV Teaser II // Whispers Fest ohne Grenzen (Inter.Culture.Prize) Video Interview with Warren Rosenzweig - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We didn’t want trouble. But things began to disappear. There was less and less every day. I shake when I remember. My shoes! My hat! My hair! They drugged me in the night – did I tell you that? And shaved my hair! I got up in the morning and looked in the mirror and my head was… My hair! My hair! … They wanted us to think we were going mad. And it made us mad! Imagine what it was like. You can’t imagine. We couldn’t sleep anymore. Things kept vanishing in the night. But we couldn’t stay awake forever, could we? How were they getting in? We didn’t know. And it didn’t stop – it went on. Winter came and the clothing was gone. We had nothing left to wear. It was cold. No one can bear that kind of cold. We had to defend our ourselves. Our garden! Our… You don’t know how it is, that cold. It makes you… Cold! KALT! KALT! KALT! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - When it was over, everyone said: “I didn’t do anything.” And they don’t realize at all what self-incrimination is inherent in that statement! – Erwin Ringel, The Austrian Soul |
