East of War

History/Society, Austria 1996

White-tiled rooms, neon light, black and white photographs on the walls from the exhibition Vernichtungskrieg (War of Extermination) about the crimes of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front. Against this backdrop, Ruth Beckermann filmed a hearing of former soldiers about their experiences beyond normal warfare. An uncompromising film about remembering and forgetting.
