Bernd Fischer’s stylishly shot, bittersweet introduction to his home town Dachau explores the conflicting emotions Nazi atrocities still evoke among Germans. The result is tragicomedy rather than Sturm und Drang: officials downplay the concentration camp memorial as a tourist attraction, preferring to focus on enticements like a pumpkin carving competition or the annual turnip week; the Bavarian riot police in the old SS barracks are at pains to demonstrate their respect for local fauna; and a musician dates his love of blues to hearing black camp prisoners sing. Interviews with camp survivors, camp neighbours and a nun complete the picture. A quirky take on holocaust guilt, which also confronts the serious implications of a people trying to erase an uncomfortable past.
