Synopsis
Prague, 1940-1942. The Nazi-occupied city is locked in a reign of terror under Reinhard Heydrich. The Jewish community experience increasing levels of persecution, as rumours start to swirl of deportation and an unknown, but widely feared, fate. Amidst the chaos and devastation, Marie Bader, a widow age 56, has found love again with a widower, her cousin Ernst L wy. Ernst has fled to Greece and the two correspond in a series of deeply heartfelt letters which provide a unique perspective on this period of heightening tension and anguish for the Jewish community. The letters paint a vivid, moving and often dramatic picture of Jewish life in occupied Prague, the way Nazi persecution affected Marie, her increasingly strained family relationships, as well as the effect on the wider Jewish community whilst Heydrich, one of the key architects and executioners of the Holocaust and Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, established the Theresienstadt ghetto and began to organize the deportation of Jews. Through this deeply personal and moving account, the realities of Jewish life in Heydrich's Prague are dramatically revealed.

Review
This book is one more remarkable piece in the unknowable and uncompletable jigsaw of Jewry in the 1940s. * The Jewish Chronicle *
About the Author
Marie Bader (1886-1942) was born in Zebau and lived much of her life in nearby Karlsbad. This area of Bohemia was part of the Sudetenland and following Hitler's invasion in 1938 Marie was forced to flee to Prague. She was deported to Theresienstadt in April 1942 and was murdered in Eastern Poland.
