Shelomo Selinger survived nine concentration camps and ghettos. The 94-year-old artist returned on the day the Flossenbürg concentration camp was liberated to report on his fate and experiences.
No, under no circumstances is Shelomo Selinger allowed in the picture before the hair is combed again. Ruth Selinger, his wife, takes a large comb from her purse and lovingly runs it through the hair of the initially somewhat reluctant 94-year-old. Then they both laugh. They have been married since 1951 and still seem in love with each other. It is a tender, intimate and beautiful moment in a place where tens of thousands of people were systematically enslaved and murdered by the SS until 78 years ago. A horror that Shelomo Selinger once had to experience himself.
