The film Two Emperors and a Queen (2015) by Vesna Lukic traces the journey of the 'Kladovo transport': a large group of about 1200 Jewish refugees from central Europe whose illegal attempt to flee Nazi persecution in 1939 via the river Danube, fatally ended in Serbia in 1941/42. The film shows the boat on which the Jewish emigrants lived during their journey which today is a shipwreck on the Danube shore in Kladovo.
