Abstract or Description
What of Theresienstadt might be visible in photographs of Terezin? What does Sebald’s invocation of the “shadows of reality” – as a metaphor of and for memory – ask us to think photographically? What does the Red Cross representative, Maurice Rossel, recalling his visit to Theresienstadt in 1944 in an interview with Claude Lanzmann, not think in reference to the photographs he took there? Reflecting on this instance of Holocaust memory, I will address relations between metaphors of “developing” images in the dark room of the mind and “narrative” practices of film montage “in the light of” a short film of my own.
