Block Der Frauen

As good cinephile I enjoyed walking through Berlin, setting for the film "Rosenstrasse" (2003) by director Margarethe von Trotta. It is not one of my favorites but it certainly recreated the story of one of the few resistance movements beautifully. The protagonists of this movement were a group of non-Jewish German women whose husbands were Berlin Jews and who were arrested and locked for deportation to Auschwitz. The women marched for seven days and seven nights and even when the police threatened to shoot them they were shouting "give us back our husbands". Radical Nazis slaughtered 600. The then regime's propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, with greater political vision and with the permission of Hitler ordered the release of all prisoners.

A disturbing image was the gunning down a bunch of defenseless German women. Today the monument Block Der Frauen ranks of the building where men were detained, located next to Alexanderplatz near the Instituto Cervantes in Berlin. It was made by the sculptor Ingebor Hunzinger.
