We find ourselves in the year 2016 AD. Hardly a three-quarters of a century has passed since Germany freed itself from its darkest past, and yet the brown angry citizens are marching through the cities again. Nazi emblems are proudly displayed in public, hatred is fueled on social networks, which translates into very real violence against strangers. As if we have learned nothing from the mistakes of the past. Or is it simply that today's generation is no longer able to confront the horrors of Nazi rule?

Based on the story of the concentration camp Lieberose in the village of Jamlitz (Oberspreewald), the radio play "Im Wald und auf der Heide – Die Schicksale des Dorfes Jamlitz," named after an old German folk song, highlights the fates of individual victims. Here, individual destinies are revealed behind the sober numbers, each one a shocking tragedy in its own right.

However, it is not only the relatively short period of existence of the extermination camp that is addressed; author Kai-Uwe Kohlschmidt begins his story around the year 1900. Over 40 eyewitnesses share their experiences, making the events feel very real. It is precisely these accounts of what was actually experienced that can leave one with a lump in their throat from time to time.

This double CD is particularly recommended to all concerned citizens who believe that the actions of the Third Reich no longer concern them and should finally be erased from history books. Victims of this inhumane ideology still live among us, and such things must never happen again. This CD can be recommended as a memorial with a clear conscience.
