OK, so this is a bit of a stretch. But it said "No Exit" right there in the photo illustrating the FlickrFriday theme for the week of Apr 18, 2014 (NoWayOut) so I, umm, went with it. In the gaze of another, you perceive yourself as an object in their consciousness: "L'enfer, c'est les autres," says Sartre in No Exit, "Hell is other people."
(But really I'm just looking at myself so it's OK. I think.)
Notes: flash in E-TTL, on stand camera right below and angled slightly toward subject, triggered with off-camera shoe cord. Direct flash is a blunt instrument.
Alas, not added to the FlickrFriday group pool due to late submission.

Al davant del nou museu de Sobibor hi ha el punt on començava el passadís de filferrades que portava directament a les cambres de gas. Els SS ho anomenaven "himmelstrasse", la carretera cap al cel.
Sobibor serà sempre més un lloc de mort. Aquest poblet petit i desconegut del més solitari i llunyà racó de Polònia, per sempre serà accessori al indret de mort massiva que els nazis hi varen instalar. De fet, el poble es troba a uns quants quilometres, cap al riu Bug. Però l'estació de Sobibor es el que era rellevant aquí, perque els nazis necessitaven vies de tren i solitudp per al seu pla.
El seu pla s'anomenava Aktion Reinhard, i pretenia exterminar els jueus de Polònia, així com d'altres llocs d'Europa. L'eix principal requeria 3 camps, no de concentració (Konzentrazionslager), sino d'extermini (Vernichtungslager, també anomenats Todeslager o Sonderlager). Aquests tres foren Belzec al sud, Treblinka al nord i Sobibor al centre. Tots ells aprop de vies de tren per on portar-hi els centenars de milers de victimes, i el més al est possible del anomenat Govern General, situats en espais el més discrets i solitaris possible. En aquest sentit, Sobibor estava en el lloc més aillat de tots tres.
Es va construir al costat de la petita estació de Sobibor (encara existent, a la dreta), aprofitant un ramal secundari de la via, que fou tancat amb filferrades i ocult amb branques de pi. Dins d'aquest recinte quedaren una alta torre anti-incendis anterior a la guerra, i alguns edificis com l'antiga casa del guarda forestal, que passà a ser la casa del comandant, amb el nom "folkloric" de Der Lustinger Floh ("la puça alegre") (es l'unic edifici del camp que encara existeix).
Tota la clariana cap al oest de la via fou tancada amb filferrades i organitzada en diverses parts: Vorlager (zona pels guardes alemanys i ucraïnesos), Lager I (zona pels presoners que feien anar el camp), Lager II (zona per on es feien passar les víctimes) i finalement el Lager III, completament aillat de la resta. Només s'hi accedia per un llarg passadís amb altes filferrades cobertes de branques a banda i banda; a més, feia corba perque no es veiés el final. Els SS l'anomenaven sarcàsticament Himmelstrasse (carretera del cel) o també Der Schlauch (el tub). Els trens amb les víctimes arribaven a l'andana separada i se'ls feia baixar fins al Lager II on un fals discurs dient que eren en un camp de pas i que s'havien de dutxar per prevenir infeccions pretenia calmar-los (tot i que en molts casos les victimes eren plenament conscients de quin era el seu destí). Alla els feien deixar les maletes i despullar-se per a entrar al "Schlauch", on els empentaven amb violencia fins al final on hi havia les suposades dutxes: les cambres de gas. Un motor de tanc sovietic produïa el monoxid de carboni per matar-los; seguidament els presoners jueus del sonderkommando portaven els cossos a les foses comunes (durant la primera fase del camp, despres directament a rasses on cremaven els cadavers a cel obert).
El més notable de Sobibor es que els presoners del Lager I finalment foren capaços de organitzar un aixecament, assassinant un a un 11 dels SS i a un parell de ucraïnesos. La idea era matar-los a tots i sortir directament en ordre de marxa per la porta del camp. Malauradament el pla fou descobert poc abans de la fase final i es van haver de obrir pas a trets per les filferrades i camps de mines que envoltaven el camp. Amb tot, uns 350 presoners provaren de fugir, i 50 varen sobreviure a la persecució posterior fins al final de la guerra. Himmler ordenà la inmediata liquidació de tots els presoners que quedaven i arrassar el camp per transformar-lo en una granja. Però fotos sovietiques de quan varen capturar el camp just mesos mes tard mostren que encara eren evidents moltes restes dels crims. Això i la existencia dels supervivents varen permetre coneixer la bestialitat dels crims. Es calcula que uns 170.000 jueus foren assassinats a Sobibor, però podrien ser fins a 250.000.
Un darrer fet molt rellevant es que en els darrers anys es varen dur a terme excavacions arqueològiques a Sobibor que localitzaren els fonaments del "tub" i sobretot les cambres de gas, tot i que els nazis provaren d'arrassar tota evidencia. Això donà peu a la construcció d'un nou museu modern i un memorial que recorre tot el "tub", les cambres de gas i la gran extensió de les fosses comunes, tot cobert de pedra blanca i murs de ciment.
Aquesta foto forma part de tot un viatge pel centre de Polònia, enfocat especialment en els més tragics moments del Holocaust i la II Guerra Mundial, que esclafà Polonia com pocs llocs, però que alhora contrasta amb l'increible renaixement del país fins al moment actual.
Hi ha una pel·licula força acurada, anomenada Escape from Sobibor (1987). Està sencera a Youtube:

=============================================
Just in front of the new Sobibor Museum stands what was the entrance of the so-called Himmelstrasse, or " road to Heaven". It was the barbwired corridor that lead to the gas chambers.
Sobibor will always be a place of death. This small, unknown village in the most isolated and remote corner of Poland will forever be an accessory to the mass killing site that the Nazis set up there. In fact, the village is a few kilometers away, towards the Bug River. But the Sobibor station is what was relevant here, because the Nazis needed train tracks and solitude for their plan.
Their plan was called Aktion Reinhard, and it aimed to exterminate the Jews of Poland, as well as other parts of Europe. The main axis called for 3 camps, not concentration camps (Konzentrazionslager), but extermination camps (Vernichtungslager, also called Todeslager or Sonderlager). These three were Belzec in the south, Treblinka in the north and Sobibor in the center. All of them near the train tracks where the hundreds of thousands of victims were to be taken, and as far east as possible in the so-called General Government, located in the most discreet and solitary spaces possible. In this sense, Sobibor was in the most isolated place of the three.
It was built next to the small Sobibor station (still existing, on the right), taking advantage of a secondary branch of the track, which was fenced with barbed wire and hidden with pine branches. Within this enclosure there remained a high pre-war fire tower, and some buildings such as the old forester's house, which became the commandant's house, with the "folkloric" name of Der Lustinger Floh ("the cheerful flea") (it is the only building in the camp that still exists).
The entire clearing to the west of the track was fenced off with barbed wire and organized into several parts: Vorlager (area for German and Ukrainian guards), Lager I (area for prisoners who ran the camp), Lager II (area where the victims were brought through) and finally Lager III, completely isolated from the rest. It was only accessible through a long corridor with high barbed wire covered with branches on both sides; moreover, it curved so that the end could not be seen. The SS sarcastically called it Himmelstrasse (heavenly road) or also Der Schlauch (the tube). The trains with the victims arrived at the separate platform and were made to go down to Lager II where a false speech saying that they were in a transit camp and that they should shower to prevent infection was intended to calm them (although in many cases the victims were fully aware of what their fate was). There they were made to leave their bags and undress to enter the "Schlauch", where they were violently pushed to the end where the supposed showers were: the gas chambers. A Soviet tank engine produced the carbon monoxide to kill them; then the Jewish prisoners of the Sonderkommando took the bodies to the mass graves (during the first phase of the camp, afterwards directly to pits where the corpses were burned in the open).
The most remarkable thing about Sobibor is that the prisoners of Lager I were finally able to organize an uprising, murdering 11 SS men and a couple of Ukrainians one by one. The idea was to kill them all and leave directly in marching order through the camp gate. Unfortunately, the plan was discovered shortly before the final phase and they had to fight their way through the barbed wire and minefields that surrounded the camp. However, about 350 prisoners tried to escape, and 50 survived the subsequent persecution until the end of the war. Himmler ordered the immediate liquidation of all remaining prisoners and the razing of the camp to transform it into a farm. But Soviet photos from when the camp was captured just months later show that many remains of the crimes were still evident. This and the existence of the survivors allowed us to know the bestiality of the crimes. It is estimated that about 170,000 Jews were murdered at Sobibor, but it could be as many as 250,000.
A final very relevant fact is that in recent years archaeological excavations were carried out at Sobibor that located the foundations of the "tube" and especially the gas chambers, although the Nazis tried to destroy all evidence. This led to the construction of a new modern museum and a memorial that runs along the entire "tube", the gas chambers and the large expanse of mass graves, all covered in white stone and concrete walls.
This photo is part of a trip through central Poland, focused especially on the most tragic moments of the Holocaust and World War II, which devastated Poland like few places, but which at the same time contrasts with the incredible rebirth of the country up to the present day.

There is a very accurate telefilm called Escape from Sobibor (1987). It is available in its entirety on Youtube:
So what did Matt show me before my birthday that it was lost in the closet?
2 film cameras, one Canon automatic and one Pentax totally manual, lenses, filters, flash and tons of films (expired but I'm using just to see what come out of it)
I have some friends here that love film and take amazing shots!
#StaciKennelly #Nigel #AndyKennelly and #~nut*meg~ (impossible not to think about you guys)
Maybe I just found another project for this year as my 263 Days of Routine is coming to an end soon.
This is for the #FlickFriday group because I have #NoWayOut but start shooting film.

FlickrFriday No. 65: #NoWayOut
Maybe a bit off topic, maybe just the opposite...
But I experienced that there is almost always more than one way to go when you think that there is "no way out".

So I'll rest here a while until a new day
brings you to me and the road ahead is clear"

Descansaré pues aquí un rato hasta que el nuevo día

Taken through a miniature "forest" of willow branches decorating our front hallway, with a single strobe on the other side.
For this week’s FlickrFriday submission 'NoWayOut' I wanted to symbolise an individual’s sealed mind; personal protection within their consciousness with ‘no way out’. For the photo I chose a padlock underlining that with trust or access you can access someone’s most private and privileged thoughts.
