Königsberg is Dead

This documentary commemorates the 750th anniversary of the founding of Königsberg/Kaliningrad with interviews and extensive access to archive films, photographs and historical records. Former Königsberg residents now 'marooned' in the West, young Russians and one of the very few survivors of Königsberg's once-thriving Jewish population provide personal impressions of the city, both in its former glory as the jewel in East Prussia's crown and as a decrepit Russian outpost now incongruously situated within the EU.
