Prameny Vltavy – Klabouchová Petra (2021)

The Frozen Girl with the Jewish Star and the Wrongs that Šumava Does Not Forget The horrific discovery of the body of a student from the Vimperk gymnasium, seemingly expelled from the very depths of the Šumava mountains, shakes the residents of the villages near the former border zone. The dead girl, dressed in a Jewish uniform, becomes not only a juicy story for tabloid journalists but primarily a new opportunity for an aging police investigator. While hope is born in him for the restoration of his tarnished reputation and gaining recognition from colleagues and loved ones, old grievances begin to awaken in the locals. With each new development in the investigation, the story of the dead girl increasingly intertwines with the search for the true purpose of the still-concealed concentration camp at Prameny Vltavy. The girl's striped pajamas seem to forcefully bring back the never-resolved fates of imprisoned Soviet prisoners and the secrets of Hitler's hidden factory under Stolová hora into the present. But how much does the murder of the girl with the past of Prameny Vltavy relate? And what other secrets will the Šumava mountains reveal?
