Relates the history of the Jewish Utitz family (ancestors of the author) from their settlement near Prague in the 16th century. Mentions anti-Jewish discrimination during the 17th-18th centuries, life in the ghetto of Prague, and the necessity of those who chose an academic career to convert to Christianity. Claims that the period from the second half of the 19th century until 1933 was the only one in this region without antisemitic excesses. The author's immediate family had moved to Austria, where she was born. In 1938 they fled to Prague and from there to England. Describes persecution of the Jews by the Nazis and the deportation of members of the family from Vienna and Prague to concentration camps. |
