Austerlitz

There are places in Europe that have remained as painful reminders of the past – factories where humans were turned into ash. These places are now memorial sites that are open to the public and receive thousands of tourists every year. But how do visitors behave nowadays? How easily can a concentration camp turn into a theme park and how can the Holocaust become a tourist attraction? The film, whose title refers to the eponymous novel written by W. G. Sebald, reminds us that oblivion is the safest path to human atrocity.
