A cherished house, the family it sheltered, and the true meaning of home

1939: the Nazis have invaded Prague. Little Anna huddles with her doll in the corner of a train car while a German officer shrieks, "You are Jews " Fleeing for their lives, her family has abandoned their elegant house near Prague Castle, bringing their life of privilege to an abrupt halt.

In Part I of this memoir that reads like a novel, we meet Anna's shining and beautiful opera singer mother, her prominent lawyer father, and their circle of friends that includes Albert Schweitzer and the family of Czech President Thomas Masaryk.

Through Anna's eyes, we relive magical Christmases, summers in the country, and a terrifying trip to Nazi Dresden that changes everything. We witness the family's escape and voyage to Ellis Island and Anna's struggle to learn English and become an American girl in a city teeming with immigrants and prejudice.

As Anna grows and continues her education, music and culture help her family find its way in their new country in spite of financial setbacks and illnesses.

In Part II, post-war life brings cherished Holocaust survivors and their harrowing stories. Anna meets her poet-husband and they embark on a culturally rich and satisfying life filled with travel, children, and famous figures from the world of art, literature, and poetry.

After the Velvet Revolution of 1989, Anna's family sues for the return of their house in Prague. But will they prevail? And if they do, what then?

The House in Prague is richly illustrated with pictures from the author's family archive. Written with straightforward, lyrical clarity, her family members and the many famous musicians, authors, and poets that pass through their lives come alive for the reader. A gripping story on its own merits, this tale of war, love, and loss dares us to think about the immigrant experience in fresh ways.

Index included.

Fun
Style: Chain(Silver)1
This was really nice looking on my gf. It's a cheap pretty thing to wear. Of course you need to be careful as it's a little fragile being an inexpensive piece.

We’re not recommend it arrive tangled and once I put it on, it broke
Style: 8 Diamonds(Gold)
I ordered both the silver body chain and the gold body chain because I had an event and I wasn’t sure what color jewelry I would be wearing. They arrived in separate packaging. Both of them packaged horribly. Both of them were tangled and had horrible knots, making it nearly impossible to do. My daughter and I worked on them separately. She did the silver one. I did the gold one. They were very fragile so it took us probably about 20 to 30 minutes to untangle each one. I put it on and it broke less than two minutes later, that is the case for both of them, the one that was salvageable I attempted to wear for an evening out, and it broke even more. It’s sick more time. Did you tangle it than I actually got to wear it. I was not touching it, not moving it not pulling at it. The chain is just too fragile. I am calling Amazon for a refund and they are going back -both of them.

So Cute On! Perfect for Miami
Style: Chain(Gold)
I loved this gold body chain! I bought it for a girls trip to Miami and it was the perfect accessory. It added such a fun, stylish touch to my outfit and really elevated the whole look. It was lightweight, comfortable to wear, and stayed in place without feeling annoying or heavy. The gold color looked great and didn’t look cheap at all. If you’re looking for something cute and trendy for a vacation, beach day, or night out, this is a great option!
