Stefan & Ursula Breslauer in Westerborkfilm | 20240305

Filmmaker Rudolf Breslauer also filmed two of his children in the Westerborkfilm…

Stefan (left) & Ursula Breslauer, children of Rudolf Breslauer, the filmmaker of the Westerbork film at the farm of Camp Westerbork in 1944 – identified by the dutch photographer Sake Elzinga, who received Breslauer’s family photo albums last year when the family of Ursula – the only survivor – visited an expo on Breslauer in the Westerbork museum in the Netherlands.

Camp commander (SS-Obersturmführer) Albert Gemmeker ordered the Westerbork film , made by the German Jewish prisoner, photographer, Rudolf Breslauer in the spring of 1944.

Today 80 years ago – March 5, 1944 – the camp is an ‘Arbeitslager’ – a work camp – when Rudolf Breslauer starts filming the daily life of the Westerbork prisoners — inside : in the barracks, for example a religious service, cabaret, workshops, factories, aircraft and battery recycling, medical care, and outside the barracks : construction of a greenhouse, a football match, women working out, chopping wood, incoming transports, and eventually also the departure of a deportation train. After Breslauer films the deportation of Jews, Roma and Sinti to Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz on May 19, 1944 the filming stops.
The haunting image of the 9-year-old dutch Sinti-girl Settela, standing in the closing doors of the goods train, and the unique footage of that deportation train that leaves the Westerbork camp, became iconic after the war.

Deportation Breslauer family

Werner Rudolf Breslauer , his wife Bella Weihsmann, sons Stefan and Max Michael (Mischa), and daughter Ursula were deported autumn 1944 from Westerbork to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. Only Ursula survived.

NL (dutch) – Podcast Première 1MEMO – Nederlandse editie. Introductie van het podcasting op 1MEMO. Publicatie op 1memo•substack•com is inclusief video. Gisteren (20240213) werd de Engelse editie (NL) geplaatst.

TRANSCRIPTIE

Ciao ,

Welkom, bij deze eerste internationale podcast van 1MEMO.

Mijn naam is Michel van der Burg.

Vandaag is het woensdag 14 februari 2024. Valentijnsdag.

Ik wandel in het Groene Hart van Nederland…terwijl ik deze eerste 1 memo podcast maak in het Nederlands.

Tja … wat is zo’n 1-memo ?

In ‘t kort : gewoon ‘iets’…
wat ik dagelijks publiceer .

Een foto, film – kort, lang – tekst, audio…

Niet persé dagelijks, dacht ik aanvankelijk…
toen ik daar aan begon.

Maar ik doe ik dit nu eigenlijk dagelijks , al bijna 10 jaar…

Gestart in juni 2014 met publiceren in het Engels….
voor een internationaal publiek, hopelijk…

De focus is altijd op visueel werk, meest film.

Nu ik graag podcasting toevoeg,
realiseer ik me plots
dat het grootste deel van mijn materiaal
in het Nederlands is – mijn moedertaal.

In filmwerk wordt dat zonodig vertaald, dus dat is geen probleem.

Maar een internationale podcast is anders…

Het podcasten hier zal in het Nederlands, Engels en Frans zijn.

Gisteren de première van de Engelse editie van deze post – en nu dan de Nederlandse première.

Ik zal de taal in de titels aangeven.

Tenslotte … waarom deze ① memo’s ?

Tja, voor een antwoord citeer ik hier graag de Nederlandse schrijfster Marja Pinckaers – uit haar boek 16 versie 61 :

‘Elke dag maak ik wat.
Dan is er ‘s avonds iets op de wereld
wat er ‘s ochtends niet was.

Of mischien toch,
maar moest ik het nog zoeken
en vond ik het •’

Bedankt voor het luisteren.

Ciao…

Podcast Premiere 1MEMO. Introduction on podcasting at 1MEMO. English edition. Published including video playing at 1memo•substack•com . Tomorrow , hopefully , the Dutch edition (NL) follows.

TRANSCRIPT

Ciao ,

Welcome , at this 1st international podcast ,
at 1MEMO.

My name is Michel van der Burg.

Today it’s Tuesday , Feb. 13, 2024 .
I am walking in the Green Heart of Holland…while making this first 1 memo podcast.

Well , what is a 1 memo ?

In short — It’s just a thing…I publish daily.
A photo, film, text, audio …
Not necessarily daily …

But I have been doing this daily , actually , for almost 10 years…now…

Started June 2014.
Publishing in english ….
for an international public , hopefully…

The focus is on visual work, mostly film.

Now that I like to add podcasting,
I suddenly realize , that most of my footage is in Dutch – my native language. In film work , that is translated , so , no problem.

However an international podcast is different .

Podcasting here will be in dutch, english, french .

Here first the english edition – tomorrow the dutch edition.

I will indicate the language in the titles.

So why these ① memo’s ?

Well , for an answer , I like to quote here the dutch author Marja Pinckaers ,

(my translation) :

Every day I make something.
Then in the evening
there’s something in the world
that wasn’t there in the morning.

Or maybe it was there,
but I still had to look for it
and I found it •

Thank you for listening ,
…ciao

Swinging Stars 1935 | 20240122

After the monster film congress in Berlin, a swinging Saturday night 23 March 1935 in the Amsterdam Carlton Hotel at The First Dutch Film Ball (Het Eerste Nederlandsche Filmbal) organized by the dutch film world (with Loet Barnstein, …Ehrlich…Hamburger…Willy Mullens…Max Tak…Abraham Tuschinski…Kor Postma) both to celebrate the film world and especially to collect money for their foundation ‘Bio Vakantieoord’ ( Cine Holiday Resort ) — founded in 1927 by the cinema owner Abraham Tuschinski and the Dutch Cinema Association (Nederlandse Bioscoopbond; NBB; association of cinemas , distributors and producers) to facilitate holidays in their seaside ‘castle’ on the dutch coast, each month for 90 poor lower class children living in the big cities like Amsterdam. At that time, also , twice a year (the Christmas and Easter weeks), money was collected for that Bio Holiday Resort foundation in the dutch cinemas, but because of the Great Depression donations are shifting from ‘silver’ to nickel …copper . The fundraising went hand in hand with promotional films made by the Dutch Profilti and Polygoon cinema newsreel companies . Next week people would watch this Polygoon news in the cinemas. The newspapers wrote, those present will be filmed, and if allowed by the police , the film will be shown the same night, and many movie and theater stars, filmschlagers, to be present … Harry Baur, Henriette Davids, Jopie Koopmans, Kid Johnson, Reri, Johan Kaart, Frits van Dongen, Henk Alsem.
Dutch news bulletin De groene Amsterdammer had a picture (collage?) with prominent guests (or impersonations?) : Gloria Swanson, Max Tak, Jean Harlow, Loet C. Barnstijn, Norma Shearer, Dr. M. de Hartog, Lupe Velez, Louis Davids, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Sylvain Poons, Myrna Loy, Mariene Dietrich, Wethouder Boissevain, Kor Postma, Theo Ketelaar. And a dutch cinematography news bulletin reported ‘the expected foreign stars were conspicuous by their absence’.

Film edited from dutch Polygoontoon (Polygoon Hollands Nieuws) cinema news reel week 13, 1935 | Sound & Vision (Open Images).
