Ein Haus in Prenzlauer Berg

A 360° shot from Schönhauser Allee reveals Stargarder Straße 3A’s neglected courtyard, where tenants, spurred by community leader Michalski, restore its greenery. Built in 1900 as a social-democratic workers’ cooperative, “the red block” once housed activists, ran its own kindergarten and summer fêtes. Wartime saw Nazi block wards, Post-’45 resident Bruno return, and ’50s festivals fade. By the ’60s, tenant turnover and mixed generations reshaped its life. Now, the film crew’s presence reunites residents for the first courtyard celebration since 1952, closing past and present.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
