Description:

As a follow-up to ZYKLON PORTRAIT, THE WALNUT TREE offers a combination of documentary and experimental approaches to examine Holocaust memory, the family and the role of photography in history.~Three girls in Dutch costumes stand posing for their father. This fleeting moment, made static in a photograph, is contrasted with the moving imagery of railway tracks - tracks that carried the death transports - now blurred with memory and time.~In a matter-of-fact tone, Schogt's mother describes how her parents tore several pictures out of the family albums when they fled the Nazis in 1943. The albums were kept safe in a warehouse in Amsterdam.~Schogt's mother recounts how the walnut tree her parents planted was cut down during the war. After the war, her sister finds the tree with several new shoots - now a huge tree that bears quantities and quantities of delicious fresh walnuts every year. <11mn>
