The Cinderman of Buchenwald
Buchenwald May 1997: During renovations at the memorial site seven hundred nameless urns are found. Unsure of how to deal with the findings, the ashes are eventually laid to rest in a communal grave.
Based on these true events Ivan Ivanji, survivor of Buchenwald concentration camp, creates the Cinderman, a mythical figure composed of the souls of the murdered. He lets them speak and tell their stories, look for similarities and try to find explanations.
An impactful novel on the Holocaust and the complex process of remembering.
