Kitchen window

[A Jewish artist discussing renting a flat nearby the former KL Plaszow area and the request to not look through one of the windows.] “Gosia had a flat in one of the apartment buildings next to Płaszów. And she was renting me this flat for a few months some time. These apartment buildings stand on the part of the camps where the Germans were living during the time of Plaszow. Not where the prisoners were living, but where the Germans were living, but it was also part of the camp. So we went—she lived on the top floor, or maybe it was the second from the top floor, and we were sitting—standing in her kitchen on that very first afternoon, and she was showing me around, and showing me the view, and she said, standing in the kitchen window, she said, ‘Now, don’t look through that window.’ She said, ‘Of course, you’re in the apartment, but don’t look through that window. If you can not look through it, don’t look through it.’ I said, ‘Why not,’ she said, ‘That’s where the black place is.’ And I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ she said, ‘I’ll tell you later.’
