"I have been waiting for you for so long."

"我等了你这么久"
Here that effort, through witness,

在这里那努力经由见证者
to come to an unmediated connection with the past

和过去结成了直接而透彻的联系
and with the violence of the Holocaust, it's acted out.

附着大屠杀的凶残它出击了
It is, as Alex said,

这就如亚历克斯所说
performed by that almost liturgical repetition of the question and the answer,

经由那礼拜一般的问与答的重复
and the way that Augustine's body gets closer and closer to the photograph;

奥古斯丁的身体和照片离得越来越近
she touches the faces;

她触摸那些脸庞
she finally merges herself and the photograph

经由那落在照片上的泪
by letting her tears fall on it.

她终于把自己和照片合并
So, the question is:

所以问题是
have you ever witnessed for these people?

你为照片中的人做过证词吗
