Imre Kertesz

In this entry I'll answer some questions about a video of the author of 'Fatelessness'.

1. Before the interview, the presenter visits a monument to the Holocaust created by the American artist Peter Eiserman. Considering the shapes, architecture and general design, in what ways do you think he represents the reality in the concentration camps?
I think that the monument make you feel like you don't have scape, you have no destiny and you are vulnerable.

2. Which is the paradox the presenter mentions regarding Imre Kertész and the place where he lives?
He said that he lives in Germany and its the only country that make him feel free, despite that 'Germany once want to kill him.

3. Refer to antisemitism before and after Auschwitz according to Kertész.
The antisemitism of 1940's was like the 'first antisemitism', so they were learning about it, and all that implies torture and damage to the human body. Nowadays, we know all that and are avaible more tools to make antisemitism worst and more terrible.4. In what way do reminders of the past in historical books make us "much richer"?
We must remember what we have done in the past, to learn about it and to don't repeat things thar weren't good.
