Endloser Terror: Klanginstallation zum 80. Jahrestag der Befreiung von Auschwitz

In the organizer's words:

"Endless Terror: A Sound Installation for the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz" by Marcus Beuter

Dealing with questions of remembrance culture -- An exhibition by Martina Barz

The longer ago the liberation of Auschwitz took place and the fewer witnesses are still alive, the more difficult it becomes for us to grasp what happened back then. How can we approach the horror of organized extermination, start a conversation and pass on the memory to future generations?

The artist Marcus Beuter has visited the Auschwitz memorial site several times as part of a series of encounter trips. His multi-room sound installation is an attempt to make the terror of the extermination camp and the suffering of the people tangible. He also deals with the situation of the aftermath and the survival of the few survivors.

An exhibition by artist Martina Barz, who has captured all the camps and sub-camps of Auschwitz in the form of glass blocks, makes the spatial dimension of the concentration camps clear. Accompanying material from the Conflict Academy at Bielefeld University encourages visitors to come to terms with the Nazi era and engage in discussions with themselves, others or the artist herself.
