“Transport XX to Auschwitz” – European Theater Premiere – Festival of Tolerance – May, 2014, Zagreb, Croatia
EN : Transport XX to Auschwitz – Thursday, 22.5.2014, 17:45 – Cinema Tuškanac
During the Shoah, the Nazis, in their quest for the final solution of the Jewish question, utilized thousands of trains from Germany and the occupied countries to transport 3,000,000 Jews to the concentration and death camps. This is the little known, true story of a most remarkable and heroic rescue attempt which occurred on April 19, 1943, the first night of the Passover, at the same time that the Warsaw Ghetto uprising began, some 720 miles away. On that night, Transport XX departed Mechelen, Belgium at 10 p. m. with 1631 Jewish men, women and children for Auschwitz- Birkenau. Half an hour later, it was stopped by three young Belgians armed with only 1 pistol, pliers and a hurricane lamp. This was the only documented rescue attempt/attack on a death train during the Shoah.
HR : Transport XX za Auschwitz – Četvrtak, 22.5.2014, 17:45 – Kino Tuškanac
Za vrijeme holokausta nacisti su težeći „konačnom rješenju židovskog pitanja“ upotrijebili tisuće vlakova iz Njemačke i okupiranih zemalja kako bi transportirali tri milijuna Židova u koncentracijske logore ili logore smrti. Ovo je malo poznata istinita priča o znakovitom i herojskom pokušaju spašavanja koji se dogodio 19. travnja 1943., na prvi dan Pashe, u isto vrijeme kada je započeo Ustanak u varšavskom getu, 1200 kilometara dalje. Te je noći u 22 sata Transport XX krenuo iz Mechelena u Belgiji sa 1631 židovskih muškaraca, žena i djece prema Auschwitz- Birkenau. Pola sata kasnije zaustavila su ga tri mlada Belgijanca naoružana samo jednim pištoljem, kliještima i petrolejkom. Ovo je jedini dokumentirani pokušaj spašavanja zatočenika, odnosno napad na vlak smrti za vrijeme holokausta.

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.
Credits
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.

Transport XX – update with video upload Dec 14, 2011*
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.

Thank you: Marjan Verplancke and other co-workers of the Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance (JMDR) in Mechelen (Malines, Belgium) and project “Give them a Face”.
Because of the special format of the ‘The One Minutes’ the credits and title were omitted from the actual video, the title however will be shown at display.
The Kazerne Dossin 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”.
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.
