In November 1938, when synagogues all over Germany were set on fire, one small synagogue in Hamburg survived. It was on the second floor of an ordinary apartment building, and the mob missed it. Soon after, Hamburg's chief rabbi Joseph Carlebach offered the whole synagogue to a friend in Stockholm – if he paid for the transport. The interior was shipped to Sweden, and today it is still in use as the Adat Jeschurun synagogue in Stockholm.

For NDR's evening magazine DAS! I filmed the story in Stockholm together with the reporter: the morning prayer, the pews and details that came from Hamburg, the interviews with members of the congregation – and Stockholm itself. Besides working as camera operator, I helped with translation, and my local knowledge of Stockholm helped the production along. One day of shooting, from early morning until the afternoon.

The segment was broadcast on DAS! on NDR in October 2026.
