Description

The 96-year-old former resistance fighter Agnes Primocic (during the Nazi era she risked her own life to help prisoners in the satellite camp at Dachau and those who were selected to be deported before the end of the war to flee) has been honored many times by the Republic/province/municipality. Until the age of 85 she visited schools as a contemporary witness. A film portrait was now planned so that Agnes Primocic may continue to have an effect in schools and so that in seeing her story, the person behind the deeds may become visible.

in German:
Die mittlerweile 96-jährige, ehemalige Widerstandskämpferin Agnes Primocic (sie hat während der NS-Zeit unter Einsatz ihres Lebens Lagerinsassen, die in der Außenstelle des KZ Dachau inhaftiert waren und vor Kriegsende zum Abtransport bestimmt waren, zur Flucht verholfen) ist für ihre mutige Tätigkeit bereits mehrfach von Bund/Land/Gemeinde geehrt worden. Bis zu ihrem 85. Lebensjahr war sie als Zeitzeugin in Schulen tätig. Nun ist ein Filmportrait geplant, damit auf diese Weise Agnes Primocic in den Schulen weiterwirken kann, damit an ihrem Schicksal der Mensch hinter den Taten sicht- und fühlbar wird.
