Under a Cruel Star
The daughter of prosperous Jews, Heda Kovaly found her world turned upside down with the German annexation of Czechoslovakia. On reuniting with her husband in Prague after the war, things started to look more hopeful. Deported to Lodz Ghetto in 1941 and then to Auschwitz, where her parents were murdered, in 1944, Kovaly made a miraculous escape from a column of prisoners being marched to Bergen-Belsen in early 1945.
But in 1952 he and 13 other government officials were tried and 11 of those hanged in one of the eras most notorious show trials. Rudolf Margolius became a deputy minister of foreign trade. Heda Kovaly and her four year old son were hounded by the state and shunned by society.
In this powerful and moving memoir, Kovaly describes her imprisonment by the Nazis during WWII and her persecution by the Communists in the 1950s - a classic account of life under totalitarianism.
