Description
The frozen girl with a Jewish star and grievances 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 hills, shakes the residents of the villages near the former border zone. The dead girl, dressed in a Jewish uniform, becomes not only a juicy morsel for tabloid journalists but primarily a new opportunity for the aging police commissioner. While hope for restoring his tarnished reputation and gaining recognition from colleagues and loved ones is born within him, local memories of past injustices begin to awaken. ***** The girl's striped pajamas seem to forcefully bring back the never-resolved fates of imprisoned Soviet captives and the secrets of Hitler's concealed factory beneath Stolová hora into the present. ***** The detective story set in the present unfolds against the backdrop of real historical events associated with the top-secret concentration camp Prameny Vltavy. ***** Nominated for the Czech Book Award 2022.
