| Description |
HIMMELWEG tells the devastating tale of these actual events that occurred during World War II. Known as ‘Operation Embellishment’; a fake community was established in an attempt to misdirect the negative world view of Hitler as he addressed “The Jewish question”. The camps prisoners were forced to rehearse scenes, which LITERALLY became the performances of their lives. “Himmelweg” means “Way to Heaven”; this is what the Nazi Soldiers called the path into the extermination camps. |
