"... a rendering of honor to all those who have vanished in ashes."
Marian Kołodziej, 432

About Me

A Documentary Short (RT 37:00) Memory, art and hell collide as an Auschwitz survivor finally confronts the horrors of his past after 50 years of silence. Marian Kolodziej was on one of the first transports to enter Auschwitz. He never spoke of his experience until after a serious stroke in 1993. He began physical rehabilitation by doing pen and ink drawings depicting his memories of the horrific experience. Marian's drawings and art installations, which he called The Labyrinth, fill the large basement of a church near Auschwitz. Through the blending of his testimony and graphic drawings, we explore the memories and nightmares that were buried for years. Marian's story of survival and persistence, of life before, during, and after Auschwitz are a testament to the human spirit. This documentary is eyewitness testimony that is unique in the annals of documenting the Holocaust. Marian is a Polish Catholic, who used his drawings to give testimony to the horrors of Auschwitz and whose body of work provides a testament to suffering and inhumanity. And yet, It is a story of survival, and human resilience.
