Totschweigen

From Margareta Heinrich, Eduard Erne

Year 1994

Duration 88 min.

During excavations at the Rechnitz cemetery, the suppressed comes to light: ten days before the end of the Second World War, 180 Jewish forced laborers were shot and buried here. Isodor Sandorffy endeavors to have the victims exhumed and buried according to Jewish ritual - in Rechnitz he comes up against a wall of silence. Margareta Heinrich and Eduard Erne spent four years working on and researching this remarkable document, which contributed to the emergence of a new culture of remembrance. "With TOTSCHWEIGEN, Margareta Heinrich has succeeded in reinventing herself as a filmmaker, both formally and thematically, which has endured in the Austrian film landscape to this day." (Vrääth Öhner) With the completion of the film, Heinrich also put an end to her life. (Florian Widegger)
