Everything vanished as if on a stage. The dead are forever silent,
and we—the living—how do we raise our voices when our hearts are ablaze? Slowly the hours pass, and the days count for centuries, and freedom weighs on our chests like a stone slab.
(Tadeusz Borowski)

IMIONA NURTU. DIE NAMEN DER STRÖMUNG
Lending your voice to someone who can no longer speak for themselves is an almost intimate experience. For Imiona nurtu. The names of the group—people from all over Europe responded to Kai Grehn's call and selected and recorded the names of those murdered from the death registers of Auschwitz.
The result is an extraordinary radio play that transcends the boundaries of the genre; a memento mori interwoven with camp poems by concentration camp survivor Tadeusz Borowski and with sound recordings from the former prisoners' barracks. Art in the service of remembrance, a radio play oratorio that doesn't narrate, but bears witness.
A quiet, almost ritualistic work that forges a bridge to the dead through the voices of the living. Imiona nurtu. The names of the current will also be presented as a sound installation at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.
The audiobook premiere took place at the Burgtheater in Vienna on Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026.
