Kupferberg - Miedzianka, a small town not far from Jelenia Gora, is gone. Just like there is no Town Hall Inn, where local ladies, gossiping at one of the tables, crooked in disgust as their husbands sang "If you had another mother-in-law, then...". Gone are the parties where Martin Lachmann played the saxophone and dancing couples whirled around. There is also no brewery, no paper mill, no masonry plant, no craft workshops. Gone are Mrs. Trenkler, who sewed shirts, Mrs. Assmann and Alex, who did bedding, Mrs. Bräuer, who traded in butter and eggs. There is no cemetery on the road to Mniszkow overlooking the Janowickie Ore Mountains, and the neighborhood still recalls how tombstones were pulled out of the ground with tractors and dogs dragged human bones all over the village. Filip Springer spent more than two years searching for answers to the question of why a town with a seven-century tradition disappeared from the face of the earth. Was it as a result of the damage caused by the plundering of uranium mining by the Russians conducted here between 1948 and 1952? Or were the tales of mining damage invented by the authorities as an excuse to demolish the town and hide a secret from the past?
