REICHSKRISTALLNACHT - NIGHT AND FOG

09. November 1988

Director Musée de l'Elysée Lausanne
"Ninth November Night" Catalogue
"In the struggle against the Jew, I defend the acts of God!" Those were Hitler's words in Mein Kampf.
I admire the work of Gottfried Helnwein a great deal. This photographic testimony encourages reflection and provokes the examination of conscience, which is necessary for every one of us where racism is concerned. The laceration of the portraits is proof of the fact that we cannot be indifferent to the warning of the "final solution".
I consider myself lucky to be able to exhibit this gallery of memories in its present form in Lausanne.
