Animation: Ryszard Czekala - The Roll Call

Things seem to have turned nightmarish at the--dream--machine of late: Brexit Britain, Trump in the White House and the spectre of fascism rearing it's ugly head once more....I find myself turning to the artists whose work stands as a warning to not let history repeat itself. Ryszard Czekela's 1970 animation 'The Roll Call' offers up such a warning, a stark, disturbing glimpse inside a concentration camp and a powerful reminder of why this should never be allowed to happen again.
