Encounter TRANSPORT XX … | 20240228

TRANSPORT XX — installation Brussels
February 28th, 2009, Brussels. Day two, of my encounter with the TRANSPORT XX installation outside in the Royal park in Brussels, that presented 1200 photographic portraits of Jews deported from Malines (Belgium) to Auschwitz in 1943. One of the stills and establising video shots made that Saturday morning after finishing long take video recordings of the installation, during a walk from our hotel in the Leopold (European) Quarter via the Royal park direction the historic centre of Brussels. That weekend break in Brussels, today 15 years ago, turned out to be a turning point in my life. Two months later – April 19, 2009 – the film TRANSPORT XX — installation Brussels was published.

Song sung by Isabella’s great-grandchild Ameet Kanon (aka Queen George) , who explained today – Friday , December 1, 2023 – at the premiere :

“The Abbey – it’s been so special and personal keeping you to myself, but your message was always too big for me not to share it …

… This is Isabella Weinreb Castegnier. She is my great-grandmother. On April 19th, 1943, pregnant with my grandmother, she jumped out of a moving train headed to Auschwitz. She was being sent to her death, simply because she was a Jew. She understood that it was now or never, die at the destination or die trying, so she jumped. In the years to follow this epic jump, the Abbeys of Brussels became a place of hiding, survival, and safety for them time and time again.”

Steam Train Gouda-Alphen Holland 1934 | 20231113

Stoomtrein Gouda-Alphen Holland 1934 (english below)
NL – Zondag 7 oktober 1934 – Opening spoorlijn Gouda-Waddinxveen-Boskoop-Alphen in Holland met feestelijke aankomst van de stoomtrein op station Boskoop.
NB. Film toont beelden van langs de spoorlijn en toont achtereenvolgens herkenbaar bij naam de stations van resp. Waddinxveen en Boskoop. Echter het eerste shot van een ‘stations gebouw’ in deze film herken ik als ook beeld van station Boskoop, terwijl suggestie is dat dit Gouda zou zijn — en de mensenmassa langs de lijn in het derde shot zal ook wel in Gouda zijn.
Bewerking van Polygoontoon bioscoopjournaal week 41, 1934 | Open Beelden | Beeld & Geluid .

EN – Sunday 7 October 1934 – Opening of the Gouda-Waddinxveen-Boskoop-Alphen railway line in Holland with festive arrival of the steam train at Boskoop station.
NB. Film shows images from along the railway line and successively shows the stations of respectively recognizable by name Waddinxveen and Boskoop. However, I recognize the first shot of a ‘station building’ in this film as also an image of Boskoop station, while the suggestion is that this would be Gouda – and the crowd of people along the line in the 3rd shot will probably also be in Gouda.
