Imre Kertész Interview
1. Before the interview, the presenter visits a monument to the Holocaust created by the American artist Peter Eiserman. Considering the shapes, architecture and general design, in what ways do you think he represents the reality in the concentration camps?
He mentions that the monument of Peter Eiserman is an attempt to recreate the experience of the concentration camps, it is the main memorial and it makes you feel in a total vulnerability way, trapped on those walls.
2. Which is the paradox the presenter mentions regarding Imre Kertész and the place where he lives?
He lives on the same country that tried to kill him, but he lives there because he feels safe there.
3. Refer to antisemitism before and after Auschwitz according to Kertész.
He refers to the antisemitism as something else before Auschwitz than after. Those who are antisemitism after Auschwitz, want a new Auschwitz.
4. In what way do reminders of the past in historical books make us "much richer"?
It is a dead reminder that will give you different perspectives and therefor makes us much richer.
5. Which metaphor does Imre use to exemplify the effect of FATELESSNESS on its readers?
People's souls were worried and will be worried when things like the Holocaust happen, that is why they read it.
