Witness Project

May the voices of those, who lived through the times, do never fall silent. With the change of generations, there is a threat of a loss of memory – both on the familial-personal and on the socio-political level. The recording and the cinematic processing of eye witness accounts in videos represent an important contribution to the culture of commemoration.

On this page you are invited to share the childhood memories of Emil Schmidt (born 1932) and Gunther Ostwald (born 1937) from wartime days. And if you would like to preserve your memories or those of your relatives for posterity as videos in a similar form – let me know!
