Klappentext zu „Under a Cruel Star “
Heda Kovßly's world was turned upside down with the German annexation of Czechoslovakia. Deported to Lodz Ghetto in 1941 and then to Auschwitz, where her parents were murdered, in 1944, Kovaly made a miraculous escape. On reuniting with her husband in Prague after the war, things started to look more hopeful. But in 1952 he was tried and hanged in one of the era's most notorious show trials. Heda Kovßly and her four year old son were hounded by the state and shunned by society.
Autoren-Porträt von Heda Margolius Kovaly
Heda Kovaly was born Heda Bloch in Prague in 1919, the daughter of a prosperous Jewish couple. She survived imprisonment and forced labour under the Nazi regime, during which time both her parents were killed. She escaped from a labour camp in 1945 and returned to her native Prague, where she was re-united with her husband, Rudolf Margolius, who was later executed in a communist show-trial. Heda left Prague for America, where she worked as a translator and later as a librarian at Harvard University. She returned to Prague in 1996 where she later passed away, aged 91, in 2010.
