W1. Before the interview, the presenter visits a monument to the Holocaust created by the American artist Peter Eiserman. Considering the shapes, architecture and general design, in what ways do you think he represents the reality in the concentration camps?
He represents it as a prison, a huge place with no escape, full of pillars that just block the way, a place where you always feel vulnerable.
2. Which is the paradox the presenter mentions regarding Imre Kertész and the place where he lives?
He lives in Berlin, Germany the country that at one time wanted to kill him, he says it's because he feels safe and free.

The antisemits wanted to exterminate all jews with the concentration camps and the antisemits after Auschwitz want a new Auschwitz fir the jews.
4. In what way do reminders of the past in historical books make us “much richer”?
In the way that we have a look at diffrrent perspectives of the topic, Kertész gives the example of the battle of Waterloo.
5. Which metaphor does Imre use to exemplify the effect of FATELESSNESS on its readers?
That the topic of the holocaust was kept worrying our souls and now it knocks from inside that cabinet where we thought we locked it up.

How do the song lyrics and the video help develop the theme of Chaos and Revolution?
The video uses a mix of fire and explosions that represent chaos and the revolution with the plastic people burning things and the opressors being the giant killer destructive teddy bears. The lyrics tells us about a world of opression and destruction, with drugs and a constant death feeling and how a revolution is needed to stop this.
