As far-right ideologies gain traction in Europe, especially with the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, a group of 30 French and German youth, including drama student Kaethe Lange, gathered to perform at a remembrance ceremony for Buchenwald, marking the camp's 80th liberation anniversary. They aim to honor the memory of Holocaust victims and learn from history, spotlighting Jorge Semprun, a survivor and cultural figure. The performance, overseen by notable directors and actors, resonates deeply as they confront the camp's dark legacy and the need for continued education about the Holocaust.
If fascism is becoming a big thing again in Europe, you have to learn from history or somehow talk about it in order to learn from it.
Putting it on at the camp itself, the actors aged 18 to 25 feel a special connection to the dark past and the tales of horror and heroism.
