Filmant realment aprop d'Auschwitz / Filming so close to Auschwitz

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Aqui podeu veure com La Zona d'Interès fou filmada pràcticament a on passa la historia. Aquests arbres de primer pla són tot el que queda del escenari del jardí dels Höss a la pel·licula. Al fons a la dreta hi ha la mismissima xemeneia del Crematori I d'Auschwitz.

Vaig tenir la sort que pocs mesos abans de la meva visita a Auschwitz-Birkenau s'estrenés la pel·licula La Zona d'Interès (The Zone of Interest), de Jonathan Glazer. Posteriorment va guanyar 2 Oscars. La pel·licula mostra el dia a dia de la familia de Rudolf Höss, el comandant d'Auschwitz, a la seva casa just al costat del camp de concentració.

Doncs, bé, aquesta casa encara existeix, i està habitada, pel que la pel·licula no es va filmar allà. Però gracies a Google Maps vaig poder veure que la casa on es va filmar és just a cent metres, en el mateix carrer. És aquesta: l'estil és pràcticament el mateix que la original, i per la filmació la varen envoltar d'un luxós jardí i d'un mur de ciment com el d'auschwitz. Quan hi vaig passar tots els decorats afegits havien estat completament desmontats, no en queda res. Això si, no només la casa és la de la pel·licula, sino que tots els arbres també.

==============================================

You could see here how close to the real location The Zone of Interest (2023) was filmed. On the foreground, these trees are all that remains of the set for the Höss family idylic garden. To the right, in the background, the REAL Auschwitz crematorium chimney...

I was lucky enough that a few months before my visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Jonathan Glazer's film The Zone of Interest was released. It later won 2 Academy Awards. The film shows the day-to-day life of Rudolf Höss and his family, the commandant of Auschwitz, in his house right next to the concentration camp.

Well, that real house still exists, and is inhabited, so the movie wasn't filmed there. But thanks to Google Maps I was able to see that the house where it was filmed is just a hundred meters away, on the same street. In fact, in Streetview you can see the props being built. It is this one: the style (and age) is practically the same as the original, and for the filming they surrounded it with a luxurious garden, a guard tower and a concrete wall like the one in Auschwitz. It was very convenient for the film crew, as this house is uninhabited. When I went through all the added scenery had been completely dismantled, nothing remains. Of course, not only the house is the one in the film, but also all the trees.
