Stromberger oder Bilder von allem

What does resistance mean in a time when the term is claimed by the right-wing? What can one connect to in a state that is reluctant to remember, as witnesses pass away and commemoration no longer obliges? In a time when fascists march through the streets again and hateful slogans gain currency? Four women, raised in the 1990s, are looking for support in the threads of history, for points of connection from which a new, better image can be woven. And for a stance that is more than waiting, remaining silent, enduring. In their search for role models, they come across Maria Stromberger, a nurse in the concentration camp and supporter of the Auschwitz Combat Group, for whom she provided medicine and food, but also brought documents as testimonies from the camp. After the end of the war, Stromberger was initially arrested and imprisoned due to a mistake and later died impoverished and unknown. The «Angel of Auschwitz» is not suitable for hero worship - too Catholic, too apolitical, too aggressive. But are heroes really what we need? Can solidarity be lived, overcoming contradictions and ambivalences, a resistance that requires no angels? Maria Stromberger or Images of Everything creates a kaleidoscope of Austrian history and present in search of a culture of remembrance that shapes our actions rather than burying the past.
