“A concentration camp is built the same way a stadium or hotel is built: with businessmen, estimates, competitive bids, and no doubt a bribe or two”

Cinema without people: Concentration camps in Night and Fog (1956, Alain Resnais, dir.)

I’m concerned with the rise of ultra-nationalistic right wing thinking here in the United States of America, and I donate each month to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate and extremist groups. I post these images from Resnais’ powerful film as an exhortation to do what you can to help stamp out white supremacist and ultra-nationalist ideologies before we find ourselves reliving the cultural atrocities of the past.(I’ll be posting more from this film; feel free to filter using the trigger warnings in the tags (tw:genocide; tw:war))
