In 2007, Flossenbürg survivor Jack Terry observed: Though I left Flossenbürg as quickly as I could, Flossenbürg never left me. Those who, like Terry, endured the horrors of the concentration camps carried the profound marks of that experience throughout their lives – even when those marks remained invisible to the world.

Petra Kelly

A portrait I photographed of Petra Kelly many years ago was used for this poster. We met at a Green Party congress – she agreed to let me photograph her in her office in Bonn.

It was, and remains to this day, a deeply meaningful encounter for me.
