Plötzensee

The memorial at Plötzensee honors the foreign and domestic victims of National Socialism.

Between 1933 and 1945 some 3000 people were executed in this room
as a result of the injustices of the National Socialist courts.

Video recorded by Ron Rocco in Berlin, Germany, June 2000.

I respect that this is your artistic vision, but I really feel that your video is not respectful of this memorial and does nothing to recognize or remember those who died there.

You know, there is nothing fine, cultural or artistic about Plötzensee. It was just an abattoir for people, run by Nazi butchers.

All due respect for artistic performance, but I doubt whether Plötzensee lends itself for this. Maybe people in the USA are at pains to really sense what transpired here. And those without a clear idea of the historical facts will probably lack the wrenching pain in their guts and the sickening taste in their mouths that I had when I entered the execution shed (which actually contains two rooms).
