Amsterdam – Paradiso Nov. 28, 2010 – The One Minutes – Where history starts …
November 28, 2010 the Dutch Museum of National History and The One Minutes presented a selection of videos about Dutch History in Paradiso, Amsterdam. Artists and art students were asked to make a one minute video about where history starts. The videos were shown at the ‘Waar Geschiedenis Begint Show’ (Where history starts). Special host is artist and theater director Steven de Jong. Multiple screens at opposite sides in Paradiso offered a good view for everyone on the show.
Trailer – ‘Where History Starts Show’
“Transport XX”
This short! documentary is a video impression (February 28th, 2009) of the confrontation of passers-by with the TRANSPORT XX installation in Brussels, that presented photographic portraits of 1,200 of the 1,631 Jewish prisoners deported with the 20th train convoy to Auschwitz in 1943.
On April 19, 1943 at 10 p.m. the 20th train convoy departed the Dossin barracks (Kazerne Dossin) in Mechelen (Belgium) with 40 cattle cars crammed with 1631 Jewish men, women and children for Auschwitz (Poland). The in Belgium captured Jews were over 90% ‘foreigners’ (with no Belgian nationality) who either when war broke out or (many) years earlier had fled from mainly Eastern Europe, Germany and Holland to Belgium. Half an hour after the departure of this transport XX three young Belgians from Brussels, Youra Livschitz, Jean Franklemon and Robert Maistriau stopped the train between Boortmeerbeek and Haacht, opened one of the cars and liberated 17 prisoners. Later before the train reaches the German border over 200 other prisoners decide to attempt to escape and also jump out of the cars. In total 233 people attempted to escape, and 188 did succeed. Unfortunately also 26 were killed and 89 others recaptured and interned or put on future trains to Auschwitz. This 20th transport arrived at Auschwitz on April 22. Only 153 of those on board survived this death camp.

About this video
A short evocation of the TRANSPORT XX Installation in Brussels 2009, that confronted passers-by with 1200 portraits of Jews (from Belgium, Holland, and other countries) deported on this 20th train convoy from Belgium to Auschwitz on 19 April 1943. Many deportees managed to escape, among others when three young men stopped the convoy that night …
A first edition of the film was published (see below) as “TRANSPORT XX – installation Brussels” via youtube.com/channel012. Thank you: Marjan Verplancke and other co-workers of the Kazerne Dossin / Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance in Mechelen (Belgium) and project “Give them a Face”. The Kazerne Dossin – kazernedossin.eu – digitalized the photo’s of the Dossin prisoners, that mostly are from the “National State Archives of Belgium. Ministry of Justice, Public Safety Office, Foreigner’s Police, individual files” URL arch.be/ .
With the ‘Give Them a Face’ project the Kazerne Dossin aims to bring together as many portraits of deportees from the Dossin barracks in Mechelen as possible and give them back their face – and the memory alive.
Notes (3)
1) Making of the film: Note that this movie originally started as pure registration – in a few ‘long takes’ – of these quite overwhelming visual impressions from my first encounter with this installation (not yet aware actually of the factual history of these portraits). Only the next day, after completing the capturing of 4 long takes while walking back and forth the rows of portraits – did I read the caption halfway the installation, and first became aware of the background, more or less: that is, the history and ‘identity’ of the portraits and this ‘transport’. This prompted the idea for this visual account with the superimposed montage of the imagery of two of the takes, combined with the ambient sound (with of the lowest levels of wind noise) of a third take.
2) A first edition of this film (“TRANSPORT XX – installation Brussels”) was published on 19 april 2009 via “channel012” at YouTube- and that version was also added in 2009 to the collection of the Dossin Barracks / Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance (Mechelen, Belgium).
3) This ‘final cut’ now named “Transport XX face to face” has some editing corrections and a new title and credits. This edition was first published October 2010 in the 7th round of the New Arrivals 2010 / 2011 of the dutch broadcaster ‘NTR’.

Comment :
Dear Michel, thanks for your good work. I wanted to point you a small but significant detail: transport XX was the 1rst time where a special wagon (Sonderwagen) was added with 19 resistants and “jumpers” (18 men & 1 women) from previous transports. The wagon was located just before the last wagon with the guards. It is possible that they were marked with red paint on the back of their clothes in order to destroy them automatically on arrival at Auschwitz. The pictures of these 19 prisonners was excluded from the mural exposition outside Dossin Kaserne. In my opinion their pictures should be added as it is our duty to honor their memory.

Transport XX – video upload Dec 14, 2011 *
Deze korte! documentaire is een video impressie (28 februari 2009) van de confrontatie van voorbijgangers met de TRANSPORT XX installatie in Brussel: 1200 fotografische portretten van joden gedeporteerd naar Auschwitz in 1943.
Op 19 april 1943 deporteerde het 20ste treinkonvooi 1631 joodse gevangenen van de Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen (België) naar Auschwitz-Birkenau (Polen).
Deze in België gevangen genomen joden waren afkomstig uit België en ook Nederland en andere Europese landen.
Een op de zeven van de gedeporteerden wist te ontsnappen; ondermeer door de verzetsactie van de drie Brusselse jongemannen – Youra Livschitz, Jean Franklemon and Robert Maistriau – die het konvooi ‘s nachts tot staan brachten na Boortmeerbeek – niet ver van Mechelen.
Deze ‘one minute cut’ is een bewerking van de eerder in 2009 op youtube/channel012 verschenen video “TRANSPORT XX – installation Brussels”. Speciaal voor het One Minutes festival werd de oorspronkelijke film van ca. 3 minuten (2 min 50 sec) ingekort tot 1 minuut.

Dank je wel: Marjan Verplancke en andere medewerkers van het Joods Museum van Deportatie en Verzet in Mechelen, België (Kazerne Dossin) en het project “Give them a Face”.
Vanwege het speciale ‘format’ van de ‘The One Minutes’ zijn in deze 1-minuut versie de titel en credits achterwege gelaten in het beeldmateriaal (de film zelf), en wordt de titel pas bij vertoning toegevoegd.
De Kazerne Dossin digitaliseerde de foto’s van Dossin gevangenen, die meestal afkomstig zijn uit het Belgische Algemeen Rijksarchief – Dossiers Vreemdelingen Politie.
Met het project “Geef ze een gezicht” tracht Kazerne Dossin om zoveel mogelijk portretten van gedeporteerden samen te brengen, om hen hun gezicht terug te geven, en de herinnering levend te houden.

This short! documentary is a video impression (February 28th, 2009) of the confrontation of passers-by with the TRANSPORT XX installation in Brussels, that presented 1200 photographic portraits of Jews deported to Auschwitz in 1943. On 19 April 1943 the 20th train convoy deported 1,631 Jews from the Dossin Barracks in Mechelen (Belgium) to Auschwitz (Poland). These in Belgium captured Jews were orginally from both Belgium, Holland and other European countries.
One out of seven of these deportees managed to escape, among others by the act of resistance of the three young men — Youra Livschitz, Jean Franklemon and Robert Maistriau — who stopped the convoy that night after Boortmeerbeek (near Mechelen).
This ‘one minute cut’ is a reworking of the video “TRANSPORT XX – installation Brussels” presented earlier in 2009 at youtube/channel012. For this special ‘The One Minute’ edition, the original film of around 3 minutes was edited to a 1-minute cut.

Update 20220620 – text youtube description ‘Update 2019’
Music removed June 3 , 2019 … because I dislike the copyright claim I received in 2016 from The Orchard Music (On behalf of: 280 Communications) .
My dispute had no success. Claimant The Orchard kept their policy of ‘Monetizing my video’… I understood Carlos had started using the song on a commercial CD ….
