I wanted to tell a story of violence and intolerance but in a contemporary way.

This in not just a condemnation of the Holocaust. It is a condemnation of all the atrocities in the past and a reminder that terror still surrounds us.

It’s not violent. It doesn’t show the act of putting people onto the trains. But we know what happened when people boarded those trains. It’s another way of telling the story.

It moved me enormously. I kept thinking about the terrible things that man was able to do to other men – and keeps on doing.
