Five years ago, writers and poets wrote their camp postcards for our last exhibition Waldsee 1944, and this year, for the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust in Hungary, we have included visual artists and composers in our commemoration. The drama that thickens in the now barely legible lines of the postcards sent from Auschwitz, the human tragedies that slowly fade away on the paper, have inspired the new music that is being composed. We know from the surviving postcards that the authorities offered the recipients the opportunity to reply, but the maximum length of the text was limited to 30 words. It is not known whether these reply letters ever reached the camp and, if so, whether anyone ever read them. Given the length of the 1944 Waldsee papers, the composers invited to write for this occasion limited their compositions to 3 minutes.
