Prague Winter

Moving from the thousand-year-old Prague Castle to the bomb shelters of London, from the desolate prison ghetto of Terezin to the war councils of Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt and Hitler, the author reflects on her discovery of her family's Jewish heritage decades after the war, and her Czech homeland's tangled history.

Trecand de la castelul vechi de o mie de ani din Praga la adaposturile anti-bombe din Londra, de la ghetoul pustiu al inchisorilor din Terezin la consiliile de razboi ale lui Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt si Hitler, autoarea reflecta asupra descoperirii mostenirii evreiesti a familiei ei decenii dupa razboiul si istoria incurcata a patriei ei cehe.
