Life and Love in Nazi Prague - Letters from an Occupied City

Zusatztext A truly significant and touching addition to the world of Holocaust studies. They tell of a neglected story – that of the everyday life of Jews in Czechoslovakia in the first years of the war… It is a labour of love on their behalf which allows a beautiful love story during the horrors of Nazism to be appreciated by us today. Informationen zum Autor Marie Bader (1886-1942) was born in Zebau in Bohemia and lived much of her life in Karlsbad in the Sudetenland. Following Hitler's invasion in 1938, Marie fled to Prague. She was deported to Theresienstadt and from there to Eastern Poland where she was murdered. Jan Lánícek is Lecturer in Jewish history at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
