You Will Never Understand This

Anja Salomonowitz portrays three women from her family who were almost girls during the Nazi era. All three were significantly involved in their upbringing. They were on different sides, present history differently today, and each belongs to different memory collectives: Hanka Jassy, her great-aunt, survived Auschwitz. Gertrude Rogenhofer, her nanny, was a socialist and supported her uncle in the resistance. Margit Kohlhauser, her grandmother, lived in Graz during the war. She did there what most did: Nothing.
