Unvergessene Geschichten | Neurochlitz - Der lange Weg ins Nichts

Once German, now Polish: the eventful history of the small town of Trzębiel has been strongly shaped by displaced and resettled people. People who were unable to determine their own paths in life. The authors set off on a search for clues that takes in photo albums, postcards and very different memories of a city that no longer exists.

Expelled from East Prussia and Silesia, they found shelter in wooden huts and barracks: and yet Neurochlitz was intended as a model village of socialist construction in the GDR. When the land reform of the post-war years, initially voluntary, evolved into forced collectivisation, many found themselves driven away again. Even after the fall of the Wall many continue to leave the village.
