A puzzle box with a graphic illustration of a view from a Toronto apartment window, featuring a racoon, rats, a tiger, the Toronto skyline, CN Tower. A hand with red painted fingernails pours red wine into a glass in the foreground while a tiger sits up, looking to its left. In the mid-ground, a laptop computer sits open on a coffee table. A bottle with two glasses also sit on the table. In the background, a racoon sprawls on a chaise lounge chair, eating ketchup chips from a bag. Across the room, a rat sits on chair, observing the scene. A rat dangles from a chandelier overhead.
This dot on the map This black spot at the core of Europe this red spot this spot of fire this spot of soot this spot of blood this spot of ashes for millions, a nameless place. From all the countries of Europe From all the points on the horizon trains converged toward the nameless place loaded with millions of humans poured out there unknowing of where poured out with their lives memories small aches huge astonishment eyes questioning bamboozled under fire burned without knowing where they were. Today people know have known for several years that this dot on the map is Auschwitz. This much they know as for the rest they think they know. —Excerpt from Useless Knowledge, 1970 Charlotte Delbo, Survivor and member of the French Resistance who arrived at Auschwitz in January 1943
