Become a participant and help build the history of a building — an address, the people who lived there, their story, and the documents that carry it. Becoming still, and receiving what once happened where you stand.
Here we research not our own history but the other's. A German traces the lives of the Jews driven from a house; an Israeli, the Palestinians of a village emptied in 1948. By tending the roots of the other, we begin to restore our own — and to break the long circle of perpetrator and victim.
Help the other recover their roots — for the recovery of your own.
“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.” — Simone Weil
Because this network holds sensitive, partly confidential material, every member is personally reviewed before being admitted. Tell us who you are and why you want to take part, and add an identification so we know whom we are entrusting.
Your identification is stored privately and is only visible to Simon.
Membership is a one-time contribution of €5 — it keeps the circle small and committed. If Simon gave you a free code, enter that instead.
Tip: add your e-mail address in the PayPal note, so we can match your payment.
We have received your motivation and your identification. Simon will review it personally. Once your request is approved, you will be able to take part in the network.
If you believe this is a mistake, please get in touch with Simon.
