Jonathan Glazer’s film The Zone of Interest marked a much needed shift in perspective in this regard, and one that gives sites of memory a historic opportunity to rethink the function they serve. The Oscar-winning film captured the banality of the commandant of Auschwitz Rudolf Höss’s family living in a villa next door to the death camp. It led to the villa, long a private home, being bought by the Counter Extremism Project, with the support of the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum, and being opened to the public. It redirected attention away from the machinery of killing towards the conditions of everyday normality that surrounded it.
