Document / objectDaniel cleans the Hebrew face of Adolf’s gravestoneIn this family-held video Rabbi Daniel Dolph Reichenbach cleans the Hebrew face of Adolf Reichenbach’s gravestone. His hands help the weathered inscription emerge during the family return. The video records the cleaning, but it cannot restore every lost letter or resolve the conflicting civil and Hebrew dates.
Document / objectDaniel and Paul J. walk the family cemeteryThis family-held video follows Daniel and Paul J. Reichenbach through the Jewish cemetery at Klein Quenstedter Straße. Father and son move among the stones during their return to Halberstadt. The walk connects living descendants with the burial ground, but it is not a complete survey of every family grave.
Document / objectDaniel cleans the Hebrew face of Paul’s gravestoneIn this family-held video Rabbi Daniel Dolph Reichenbach cleans the Hebrew face of his great-grandfather Paul’s gravestone. His hands make the weathered inscription easier to see during the return to Halberstadt. The recording preserves that act, not the stone’s earlier condition or every letter beneath the weathering.
Document / objectThis memorial sequence holds names without inventing endingsThis AI-generated film places documented names within an interpretive memorial sequence. The archive made it as remembrance, not as historical footage. It adds no image of the people themselves and no fate beyond the surviving records.
Document / objectPaul and Dolf are briefly set in motionThis AI-generated animation begins with the family photograph of Paul and Dolf seated together. The still image is the historical object; the movement is an openly labeled interpretation. It cannot recover an actual gesture, moment or conversation.
