The three-part documentary tells the stories of the Jewish population in the mountainous region on both sides of the border between South-West Bohemia and Bavaria, from the early 10th century, when Jews, famed for their trading talent, were passing through it northwards, to the full emancipation of this ethnic group at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the catastrophe of the Nazi occupation and the Second World War till present time. Their fate is demonstrated on the example of the Getreuer mixed Czech-German family who lived in the first half of the 20th century in the village of Mostek/Schwanenbrückel. We will follow the life stories of the family members and their descendants to this day. The documentary series includes plenty of unique photographic and film material, and offers testimonies of eyewitnesses which have never yet been published in our country.
