Ceija Stojka

In the organizer's words:

Ceija Stojka

Karin Berger, AT 1999, 85 min, German OmeU

Ceija Stojka is a painter, author and contemporary witness. Born in 1933 and raised as a traveling Romni, she survived three concentration camps as a child. A brick from Auschwitz-Birkenau rests in her kitchen cupboard, carefully wrapped in a cloth. Ceija remembers, talks about traumatic experiences against forgetting, but also about life afterwards and her family. Karin Berger's sensitive portrait remains close to the impressive protagonist in its cinematic form, and her everyday life is given just as much space as the past, the unimaginable. When Ceija talks about the "brown sauce" that flowed like a river through the whole of Europe and adds "it's still running today", her testimony is frighteningly topical and the film is an impressive appeal.
