Inside the memorial museum at Mauthausen an opening of a new exhibition is taking place. There are speeches, a buffet and wine. Outside the museum lies the abandoned camp. The spirit of the \u2018angel of noon\u2019 wanders through this darkness.<\/p>\n<p>The poem The Angel of Noon, which was written by Jean Cayrol while he was imprisoned in Mauthausen, accompanies the film.<\/p>\n<p>The film was shot in the former concentration camp of Mauthausen, in the memorial museum there and in the town of Mauthausen, during the openings of the exhibits: \u201cArt in Mauthausen\u201d and Herbert Friedls series of paintings \u201cThe Reality of the Traces of Suffering\u201d in May and October of 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The film analyzes the issue of memory and coming to terms with the crimes of National Socialism today.<\/p>\n<p>May in Mauthausen poses the question of how to remember, how commemoration is possible. The images, which accompany the angel of noon on his meanderings through the camp, convey, more than his words can, the horror, which does not go away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/mai-in-mauthausen\/reh_mit_ohren_mauthausen\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-163\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/reh_mit_ohren_mauthausen.jpg\" alt=\"reh_mit_ohren_mauthausen\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/reh_mit_ohren_mauthausen.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/reh_mit_ohren_mauthausen-250x188.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short Film (14 MIN.) 2008 UA Vienna International Shortfilm Festival VIS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":77,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-films"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3506,"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45\/revisions\/3506"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.susanneayoub.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
