The works are based on transcripts of interviews conducted by Lanzmann with various witnesses in his film Shoah, his monumental masterpiece from 1985. The central image in each of the works is a single page from the book Shoah (Pantheon Book, 1985 N.Y).

The film is a sequence of testimonies in which Lanzmann attempts to evoke the memories of the witnesses. However, the testimony also includes forgetting, embarrassment, confusion, and silence. People repeatedly recount that although they were eyewitnesses to the atrocities, they did not always understand the meaning of things in real-time

​

The series of works Letters to Claude Lanzmann offers the erased texts as an alternative image: on one hand, the erased parts bring to mind images of unmarked maps (silent maps) or aerial photographs of architectural places whose purpose remains undeciphered; on the other hand, it is an attempt to illustrate that silence (erasure) is no less significant than speech (text), especially in situations of trauma.
