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.
