Summary:

This video poem mixes reappropriated footage shot in Terezin Concentration Camp in 1944 with contemporary footage of American children and their drawings that honor the children of the Holocaust. Camp Terezin also makes fun of Disney by comparing its characters and Disneyland visitors to inmates of a concentration camp. A few weeks after composing "Sonata No. 7 for Piano," which is also on the soundtrack, Viktor Ullmann, an Austrian of Jewish descent, was taken to Auschwitz, where he died in the gas chamber. About Terezin, Ullmann wrote, "our desire for culture was a match for our desire for life"
