Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I discovered this book while doing research for my soon-to-be-published memoir, "Out of Prague: Survival, Denial and Triumph." Of nearly one hundred references I have cited in my manuscript, "The Jews of Bohemia & Moravia" was, by far, the most valuable and relevant. Livia Rothkirchen's meticulous research helped me to understand many of the events and external forces which affected my own life as one of the so-called "hidden children" of Europe. The book is not some dull academic listing of facts and opinions. Rather, it is a fast-paced -- though detailed -- account of the events which led up to World War II, the plight of both Jews and non-Jews in the former Czechoslovakia, as well as the aftermath of the war. Anyone with an interest in the Holocaust, the Second World War, and the Czech and Slovak Republics will find the book fascinating and revealing. It is an extremely important contribution to the history of one of mankind's most horrific periods.
