"It's not my fault," said the prisoner head. "It's not my fault," said the officer. "It's not my fault", whose fault is that. Now the grave is filled up by the icy water and rubbish in the pond, and the water is cold and muddy, just like our memories. The war has subsided, but we cannot close our eyes. Grass has regrown in the review square around the camp, and the forgotten village is still in danger. The crematorium has been abandoned, the sins of the Nazis are now a children's play, and nine million ghosts roam the suburbs. Who can look out from this watchtower to remind everyone of the arrival of the new executioner? Are their faces really different from ours? We examine these ruins with sincere eyes, and let the shattered monsters crawl on the rubble again. When memories go back in time, we pretend to have hope again, as if we and the victims of the ravages in the camp are healed, we pretend it only happens once in one place, at a time, we don't see our surroundings, we pretend we can't hear humans Crying nonstop.

So who is responsible for this? Are these ruins a reminder of the new executioners? Are their faces really different from ours? So we choose to be hopeful again, pretending that this happens only once in a certain place at a certain time, blind to our surroundings and deaf to the never-ending cry of humanity. [Those who died can no longer speak for themselves. And the living, choose silence like death]

Récitant/Narrator: Grass flourishes on the inspection ground around the blocks. An abandoned village, still heavy with peril. The crematoria are no longer used. The Nazi's cunning is but child's play today. Nine million dead haunt this countryside.
