This is the second part of the 'Dancing Auschwitz' video installation series. This video shows Marysia and Adolek Kohn, the Wysokiers, Leda Gringlass and me (Jane Korman) when I was a little girl dancing freely with my parents and their friends in a forest outside Melbourne.
This footage illustrates how both dancing, and my parents attitude to life, have been woven into my own life. Growing up, I was always present while my parents danced. As an adult, it seemed a natural process to merge the two influences that have shaped my life that of my parents' story and that of dance hence the project, Dancing Auschwitz.
Music: 'Dance Me to the End of Love' by Leonard Cohen. Soundtrack from 'Various Positions,' 1984

  • The best response to hate is celebration and living well. What better response could there ever be to creatures like Hitler? Defiance and celebration forever. These are the chosen people and they know it.

  • @gcpropertymanagement

    Thank you. Sometimes they/we wish we werent the 'chosen' people - it's sometimes a big load!

  • So beautiful...you are a true example of humanity, thank you....as Hannah Arendt said: Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.

    Beyond evil, life and liberty triuhmphs and will keep on doing so as a never ending dancing song.

  • From 1939-1945, Adolph Hitler tried to exterminate an entire race from Europe. In 2011, That race is stronger than ever.

  • I love to dance with my grandmother, but she did not survived. I never knew her. My mother and me went back there the get a closure for her. My mother and her good friend who were survived Auschwitz felt they need to go back with me. We did not dance, but I can understand this family. They survived, let them celebrate!!!

    Congratulation for the video! (Hungarian living in USA)
