Brussels, Belgium. February 28, 2009.
Encounter with the TRANSPORT XX installation outside at the Royal park in Brussels, that presented 1200 portraits of Jews deported from Mechelen (Belgium) to Auschwitz, April 19, 1943.

That Saturday morning, Michel van der Burg is filmed by his helpmate camerawoman Sonja van der Burg , while he has started filming, in a flow, in one long take of ca 2.5 minutes, close-up all portraits of the bottom row of the installation.

A long moment – a special moment – the first of the new series ‘Miracles Moment’ started today, May 13, 2024.
