Ruhig, Brauner!

Tim Bruggeman

€ 30

This publication contains a collection of cartoons and drawings sourced from several issues of the magazine IMPULS. The magazine was created by young people in JVA Vierlande, a juvenile prison that operated from 1970 to 1990 on the former clay pits of the Nazi camp in Neuengamme. Following sustained public criticism, and in recognition of responsibility towards the victims and their relatives, the prison was eventually closed. Today, only one corner of the prison wall and a watchtower remain as silent witnesses to this history.

In memory of my grandfather, Louis Bruggeman, who, as a 17-year-old resistance fighter, was imprisoned in KZ Neuengamme from 02.09.1944 to 05.05.1945, and survived this traumatic period.

This publication was made possible with the kind support of a development grant from the Flemish Government, the EU Mobility Project and Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial.

*Ruhig, Brauner! is an expression that originates from Die Walküre by Richard Wagner and refers to a moment when restless horses are calmed, a command meant to bring them back into line.
