LISTY. BRIEFE – IN GEDENKEN AN DR. MARIA GROLLMUSS

LETTERS – IN MEMORY OF DR MARIA GROLLMUSS

Toni Bruk
GDR, 1985, 19 Min

A Sorb, Catholic, publicist, anti-Fascist and Communist: 75 years ago, on August 6th 1944, Marja Grólmusec (Maria Grollmuss) died at Ravensbrück concentration camp. The film features fragmented reminiscences of an individual and her fate, the likes of which also occurred in Lusatia.

From her correspondence with her sister, documents, photos, tales from children who attend her home-town Radibor's Maria-Grollmuss School and reminiscences of one-time companions a portrait emerges of a highly-sensitive individual who met her fate of a certain death with dignity. All the while elegiac landscape footage and organ music ensure a constant presence of a deeper religiousness and spirituality which in turn energised both Grólmusec's Communist world-view as well as her will to resist.
