SUPERFLEX say:

"It is difficult to gauge, especially as an outsider, how much of Ambrosi's ghost is left in the building and whether or not it makes sense to evoke these ghosts. Perhaps any attempt of not talking about it in the context would be too much of a negation, almost as a Freudian Verneinung. 'I had a dream but can't remember who was in it but surely it was not my mother...' And suddenly it is all about the mother. Or the other way around when laying all the possible available cards on the table ends up banalizing the past, evens it out. But perhaps the story of Ambrosi's cow transcends this dilemma by going beyond the immediate historical limitations. This is a cow that in the mayhem of the war caught the gaze of Ambrosi, possibly Speer and maybe even Hitler and caused them to feel compassion and worry on behalf of it."
