Overview:

Graphic afterimages of photos documenting the Holocaust: the architecture of Auschwitz-Birkenau, bodies thrown on wires, skeletons of those who died of hunger, close-ups of the faces of people who got off the train. Plastic forming turns them into abstract stains. The film begins with an inscription carved in the wall. It says ‘Later definitely there will be no camps, there will be no states, people will not kill themselves’. It explains the intent of the title. Modern people live in too much of a rush to remember this.
