THE LAST WITNESSES OF WORLD WAR II (2019 - 2020)
– It was you or me. You or me. And then who do you choose? I did it for the country. And for all my friends who were killed. We had to give orders and receive orders. No one who is at war has clean hands. You have blood on your hands. It will come back to you. Words by Ivan Harry Vanje, 101, September 2019. He passed away three months later.
For this work I traveled through Norway to portray some of the last witnesses of the Second World War. I met people who risked their lives to protect their country and their freedom. Some of the veterans were active in sabotage groups, they worked as nurses and some fought on the front lines. Since I started the project, half of the witnesses I met are no longer alive. But their stories live on.
