A Quiet German Street with a Neo-Nazi History | The New Yorker Documentary

[@krokodyl1927]

Eloquently told and massively disturbing. 😢

[@TheBeautifulDisaster]

"The seven-minute film asks what kind of place society should allot to the most painful or shameful parts of its past. Helmut Kohl, the late Chancellor of Germany who presided over the country’s reunification, has a street named after him in the center of Bonn. “It’s a beautiful street,” [Güzin] Kar said. “It says a lot about what a society thinks of a person.” Meanwhile, Saime Genç’s street feels more like a compromise between being forced to remember and wishing to forget. It is remote, desolate-a memorial that brings up no memory." - Fabrice Robinet.

Heartbreaking

[@artort]

So sad! Great artwork. Thanks!

[@themaestrodamus]

Poetry. I’ll remember little Saime and add it to the stories I tell.

[@prato4338]

Its terrifying how quiet that place is

[@reesefinch3930]

It's not where it happened (Untere Wernerstraße, Solingen) it's a random industrial area near Bonn.

so sad. very well done

[@MattiFinin]

Genau so muss man erzählen.

[@chegeny]

Your Street is a good poem as the life of Saime Genç should be remembered.

*Is this Expository style of documentary could anyone tell me I'm studying filmmaking??❤*

[@rittinergomez]

Wunderbar

[@Amanda---]

Although we move on, as we must do your story lives on with your street.

Ich habe nach einer Firma gesucht und frage mich, was das für ein Straßennamen in. Beeindruckender Film. In Asphalt verewigt - doch ihre Straße ist keine Straße, auf der man innehält oder durch die man gerne spaziert. Sie ist bloß eine Unterlage für Autos.

The sad news is that there are still many, many _Little Hitlers_ ( and _Big Hitlers_ ) throughout the world today; But the good news is that on any given day, any one of them can make a choice to become something less hateful. - j q t -

[@johnsmith1474]

It's can't be sad news that humans are mammals that can learn things. As a student of military history I'm hard pressed to name anyone alive who rises to the dramatic importance to military criminality of that one German. It would have to be someone who perhaps invaded and destabilized hmm ... Iraq? Vietnam? Korea?

[@LauraVee63]

You make a great point; I couldn't have said it better.

[@gzuzru3064]

did you just qoute yourself?

[@brushemteeth9159]

What a terrible crime. More info here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Solingen_arson_attack

[@raynolds1888]

Thanks a lot for sharing the information. It's sad ...

[@selimgure]

I would be more than happy to live there. That place is an introvert's wet dream.

[@routemakepathtodirectioninway]

看起來好憂鬱的色調

[@jakubdegler]

Sehr schöne truurige fium!

[@denvoran4316]

“Ring” is a German street suffix that means, well, “ring” - a U.S. equivalent might be “circle” or “loop”. Thus to say “Saime-Genç-Ring Street” is like saying “Columbus Circle Street” - which is redundant and sounds silly. The description should simply read “the story behind Saime-Genç-Ring in Germany, a street named after...”

[@yomommastupid]

this place looks depressing af just like the rest of Germany and many parts of Europe...

[@achnix3167]

Probably still less depressing than most places in the US

[@rayanbecque3649]

Cette endroit et merveilleux pas de racaille pas de problème que du bonheur

[@reesefinch3930]

All industrial areas look depressing, everywhere.

[@MariAmmaSar]

"Sleep well, little Saime" ? That is a cruel epitaph for a child who may have died an excruciating death. Downright insensitive.

[@rexf5152]

Has it become a Ukranian street these days?

[@WallyTony]

Dam this was boring
