'Survivor's victory on evil'

Moshe Zimmerman's film "Pizza in Auschwitz" will be screened at the Mauthausen concentration camp on December 9th in the presence of Austrian high school students.

Prior to the screening, the movie will also be presented at the This Human World festival in Vienna. The film's main character, Holocaust survivor Daniel Chanoch, will be present at both screenings.

Chanoch, an eccentric and belligerent figure, views the Mauthausen screening as an achievement.

"Toady I have a highly importantly educational and informative role to play," he says. "It's important for me that Austrians youths realize, despite the denials, that Austria joined forces with the Nazi regime."

"I travel with this movie worldwide, but my return to Mauthausen is an immense achievement," he says. "This camp was the head of the snake, it was among the most terrible camps. The living conditions there were extremely difficult and the Germans used to prepare soups cooked with human flesh for the prisoners. I was only a kid, but this is a sight I will never forget. What's a greater victory than to return to a place where human rights were deprived with a movie whose essence is human rights?"

Chanoch says he intends to lead the student tour at the camp on his own.

"I will show them that it happened, it ended, and right now despite all we must look forward," he says. "I, who hold a hospitalization card signed by Mengele, the doctor who used to present me as an object to Red Cross representatives, want to tell them that we overcame all these monsters, and that we're alive. I'll be holding this tour based on memories."
