Wankostättn

Karl Stojka stands in a light-colored suit with elegant hat and tie on Quellenstraße, a street in Vienna’s Favoriten district, a former working class neighborhood in Vienna. We are drawn into the pull of his memories. The short documentary WANKOSTÄTTN is based on interviews that Karin Berger carried out with Karl Stojka in 1997. As a twelve-year-old child, he was deported with his five siblings to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. He survived, as did his younger sister Ceija Stojka. An unparalleled film about a lost site of memory.
