FIELDS OF MARGRATEN, a war cemetery - as it is remembered by some thirty eyewitnesses.
Fragments of memories that surfaced in the minds of some thirty eyewitnesses including some of the inhabitants of Margraten, a German prisoner of war, road construction workers from America, gravediggers and soldiers working for the American war cemetery services, tell us what the construction of the war cemetery meant to them. The recollections of some were still very clear and vivid and the events were described as if they had taken place only last week whereas the memories of others were hidden faraway and got mixed up with events that had taken place earlier or later. Our memory will always change the past, that is how our memory works.
The most remarkable, wonderful, touching and heartfelt recollections have created the pieces for a mosaic; a collage of images of this unthinkable period when the living had to deal with the innumerable dead.

Ruim Kader Films produced the documentary in cooperation with the Historical Society of Margraten (SHOM).
