3 d. ago On 21 April, Germany will deport me – an EU citizen convicted of no crime – for standing with Palestine | Kasia Wlaszczyk

Four of us have received letters from the state telling us to leave or be removed. This is a terrifying illustration of Germany’s lurch to the rightIn the first week of January, I received a letter from the Berlin Immigration Office, informing me that I had lost my right of freedom of movement in Germany, due to allegations around my involvement in the pro-Palestine movement.

Lewis and Lawrie did not record sound when they visited Belsen; the words they spoke years later are the only sounds we hear.Lewis and Lawrie do not arrive at Belsen until almost halfway through the film’s 36-minute running time. First, laid over generic archive footage, we hear how they came to be a...
