The Topography of Genocide 227 For most death camps, like POW camps, this monumentalization never occurred because these were regarded as temporary structures. Once their function was no longer needed when the war was won or all the Jews and Romanies in their deadly catchment were killed, the camps were disposed of. Many had barracks that were made from prefabricated, disposable kits, which again is why POW and Displaced Persons camps, both British and German, internment camps for Japanese in the US, and death camps in Poland look similar. The main camp at Auschwitz being a concentration camp on German soil, and hence having a planned role in the future as a place of punishment and re-education, should have had one of the monumental gatehouses, but a shortage of building materials meant this was never realized. 31 Birkenau’s brick gatehouse with a two-storey watchtower is therefore unique among the six death camps and its appearance has more to do with the size of the camp that had to be surveyed (figure 8). Even today the sight-lines from the tower across the camp are excellent. Auschwitz-Birkenau’s infamous watchtower is very much an extension of Bentham’s Panopticon. Like the gatehouses of the concentration camps in Germany, it reminds one of the forbidding entrances to the utilitarian workhouses found in England in the nineteenth century and still operating into the twentieth. 32 David Lean’s representation of the workhouse and its inmates in the opening scenes of his film Oliver Twist owes as much to the description of the camps as to nineteenth-century workhouses. Others have seen modernist continuities in a specific German context through ‘Hitler’s engineers...taking over the practices of Bauhaus design’. 33 We are all familiar with the searchlight sweeping across a camp landscape in a POW film such as The Colditz Story. Searchlights and lighting within those camps and concentration and death camps were also to aid the surveillance of the captives. Yet lighting had another important functional purpose: it meant that the death camps could work through the night. For all commercial and industrial activity the advent of electricity had meant that night was no longer a period of inactivity. 34 So it was for the factories of death. Moreover, they announced the presence of the camp to those beyond its borders. In those suburban/rural locations the power of the occupying forces could be read in the bright glow of electricity. It was a symbol of modernity, demonstrating that the Germans were bringing light to the dark corners of Europe. Such a metaphor in the landscape was there for a regime that had decreed that its greatest deeds could never be written down. Trains and cars and planes What modernity taught us – that ‘communication, exchange and motion bring to humanity enlightenment and progress’ – was mocked in the Shoah by
228 Andrew Charlesworth Figure 8 the bleached bones that littered the rail track from Lvov, the former regional capital of the Galician part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to the obscure place called Bel4ec. 35 The rail network that carried the death transports is virtually the same today in its topology and topography. Questions about the modernity project are thus etched into the landscapes of Europe. Before the Shoah trains appear as those agents of civilization, linking modern European states together both intra- and internationally. Railway stations were the points of entry into the wider nation, made the provincial national, and
