Lecture with Monica Csango

– I had to grow up before I understood that the Holocaust was about me.
That feelings I had carried were about someone else, but they were part of my life.
Ever since I was a child, I had taken in and interpreted my family’s history and constantly
carried it with me: Although words were exchanged between the people so lay
the meaning of all that was not said. No one liked to talk about what had happened.
So when I turned 31 I started on a journey in my own and my family’s history.
It was then that I understood that feelings can be inherited. That what my family had experienced
would come to shape my life and my thoughts. Later this has become a kind of
life project for me and it has resulted both in a documentary film “Evig Din”, a
book “Concealments” and a number of lectures.
The content of these is historical, but the subtext is: History is part of us. And
feelings can be inherited between generations.
