Und auf einmal diese Stille: Die Oral History des 11. September

The oral history format makes the events feel immediate and visceral. I'm curious whether this approach was chosen to honor the voices of those affected or for another reason.

Reading these personal stories brought me close to tears, but I wonder how others processed such intense emotions while reading.

The selection of testimonies shapes the narrative significantly — I’m interested in what guided those choices and how representative they are of the broader experience.
