Imre Kertész interview

1) Those 2000 giant stone blocks, recreate the feeling of total vulnerability that the Jews felt in the concentration camps, because you are sorrounded by giants structures and they block you from seeing what is next to you.

2) He is now living in Germany, the place that wantes to kill him once, and he felt safer there than in his own country.

3) The antisemitism before Auschwitz wanted to eliminate the Jews. The antisemitism after it, wants another Auschwitz

4) It makes us much richer because it helps us to avoid making the mistakes humanity did in the past.

5) The metaphor he uses compares our souls locked in with the trapped feeling of remembering the Holocaust the book gives to us when we read it.
