Film The Zone of Interest at Culturele Raad Eelde
The Culturele Raad Eelde has scheduled the screening of the film The Zone of Interest for Sunday, March 23rd. The film portrays the daily routine of camp commandant Rudolf Höss, living with his family near Auschwitz in a surreal nazi setting.
Family Life Amidst Auschwitz
Rudolf Höss, played by Christian Friedel, is depicted indulging in normal family activities alongside his wife Hedwig, portrayed by Sandra Hüller, and their five children. Scenes include leisurely moments by the river, horseback riding with his son, and appreciating nature, oblivious to the invisible forced laborers nearby.
Insight into the Film
The film captures the Höss family's luxurious lifestyle and their obliviousness to the atrocities unfolding in the Auschwitz surroundings. The juxtaposition of their idyllic life with the horrors of the camp's extermination facilities highlights the banality of evil.
