The video ‘Block: 46’, considers the barrack where George Saxon’s late father Tadeusz Witkowski was housed during his internment at the former concentration camp at Sachsenhausen (1940 – 45).
The video ‘Pink Triangle: Sachsenhausen’ was filmed on location at the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum, as part of ‘Voices of the Next Generation’ International Exchange. Lotus wanted to do something with lesser-known stories, but in line with what her great-grandfather stood for: tolerance and love of humanity.
“Voices of the Next Generations” brings together descendants of prisoners from the former concentration camp of Sachsenhausen. Its objective: To highlight new perspectives on remembrance, while the last direct witnesses of the Second World War are dying out one after the other.
Between 14 and 18 September 2022, we grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Jan Lemaire Jr. participated in the second meeting of Voices of the next generations in Oranienburg Sachsenhausen.
On November 9th, the collective Voices of the Next Generations organised “Europe remembers”, the first paneuropean remembrance action to commemorate the November pogroms.
