Description

It was after reading this brief testimony reproduced below that I got the idea to write Memoirs. This almost intimate memory reflects a very different reality from the one found in history textbooks. It is the difference between an individual experience and a collective experience that forms the basis of the play. To try to express this difference, I chose to juxtapose this testimony with certain excerpts from the very beautiful Liber ecclesiastes. This text foresees and explains everything. This detachment, this timelessness contrasts with this fate where a moment changed and marked a life.

Memoirs is dedicated to very dear friends, Hanz Lenz and Theresa Affolter.

Michael Jarrell

Testimony of Abraham P.

I leaned over to my little brother saying, "Solly, go join mom and dad" and like a little boy, he went. If I had known I was sending him straight to the crematorium! I... I have this feeling that I killed him. I wondered if he managed to reach my parents, I think he did. He must have told them: "Abraham told me to go with you!" I wonder what my father and mother thought, especially when they entered the crematorium together... I can't get this out of my head. It hurts me so much, and I don't know what to do.

From: Liber ecclesiastes

3.1 omnia tempus habent et suis saptiis transeunt universa sub caelo

3.8 tempus dilectionis et tempus odii tempus belli et tempus pacis

3.10 vidi adflictionem quam dedit Deus filiis hominum ut distendantur in ea

3.11 cuncta fecit bona in tempore suo et mundum tradidit disoutationi eorum

3.15 quod factum est ipsum permanet quae futura sunt iam fuerunt et Deus instaurat quod abiit.
