AIDS Gedenk Buch. Warum macht man sich Gedanken über das AIDS Gedenk Buch? Es ist schwierig, über den Tod einer geliebten Person zu schreiben, die Gefühle auszudrücken, die Erinnerung, die Wut und den Schmerz, und auch die Freude, mit der man an die geliebte Person denkt ... Das AIDS Gedenk Buch ist ganz einfach -- ein leeres Buch. Das Buch ist da, um gefüllt zu werden: = mit Bildern, Photos, Gedichten, Zeichnungen, kleinen Geschichten, Collagen, - und allem, was jemand will oder braucht und ihm hilft die Gefühle zu erklären ... Das AIDS Gedenk Buch ist ein öffentlicher Ausdruck eines privaten Gefühls. Es ist ein Möglichkeit für Menschen, die mit dem AIDS-Tod leben müssen etwas darüber zu sagen, wie sie fühlen ... Je mehr Menschen beitragen, desto grösser ist die Chance, das es andere geistig oder emotional erreicht. Translation of text: AIDS memorial book. What do people think about the AIDS memorial book? It is difficult, on the death of a beloved person to write the feelings, memories, the anger and the pain and the joy with which we think of the beloved person ... The AIDS memorial book is quite simple - a blank book. The book is about to be filled: with images, photographs, poems, drawings, short stories, collages, - and everything that someone wants or needs and helps him to explain the feelings ... The AIDS Memorial Book is a public expression of private feeling. It is an opportunity for people with the AIDS death will have to live to say something about how they feel ... The more people contribute, the greater the chance for other mentally or emotionally affected people
