Since 2010, Deborah van der Starre has followed the chairman of the Dutch Auschwitz Committee and initiator of the Holocaust Memorial of Names Jacques Grishaver in his struggle to have a moment built in Amsterdam in memory of the victims of the Second World War. The memorial is to contain the names of the 102,000 Jews and 220 Roma and Sinti who were killed. You would think a noble initiative, but it will be a struggle with the neighborhood for years. Van der Starre does not stop but continues to capture important moments with her camera, she speaks to opponents, politicians, the designers, she films the protracted lawsuits that are being held over this monument, but above all she portrays a passionate Grishaver who has no intention of ever retiring. to give.
