Kammerer’s story and his tragic fate became the subject of the movie „Salamandra“, a German-soviet co-production, which was shot 1928 in Germany. The Soviet secretary of culture himself, Anatoli Lunatscharskij, wrote the script, his wife played the part of Mrs. Kammerer. The highly controversial silent movie was forbidden in Weimar Republic for political reasons and was only shown in Russia. Therefore most of the existing accounts are completely distorted. Salamandra has Russian inserts which we will translate "live".
