Publisher's Synopsis

  • Both of the author's previous books (Innocence and Under a Cruel Star: A Life in Prague, 1941-1968) are best-selling titles.
  • Heda Margolius Kovály speaks directly to the audience; the book is based on an award-winning Czech TV documentary.
  • This title is considered an expansion of Kovály's memoir Under a Cruel Star making it an excellent companion piece for classroom use.
  • Ideal for teachers and scholars of Holocaust and Communist Cold War European history.
  • Shows the unique scapegoating of Jews in Central Europe that Kovály witnessed had similar deadly effects under Communism as under Nazi occupation.
  • Remarkable story of survival of Auschwitz and Stalinist purges.
  • Offers a window into the shadowy world of Stalinist kangaroos trials, in one of which her husband Rudolf Margolius was murdered, the infamous Slánsky show trial of 1952.
  • Heda's strong character and voice are inspiring as much as her stories are terrifying.
  • An intimate and powerful account of life under totalitarian rule.
