Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Priska’s parents, Emanuel and Paula Rona, ran a kosher cafés in Zlaté Moravce, a town in the Slovak Republic. Her mother was a goodwife and cook, and her father was a strict disciplinarian who spoke German or Yiddish with her mother whenever he didn’t want his children to understand.

#2 Priska, the daughter, was the fourth in line. She was named Piroska at birth, but was called Priska by her family and friends. She was the first Rona child to attend the local high school, the Gymnázium Janka Král’a.

#3 Priska’s family was very successful, and she enjoyed a comfortable life. She was a teacher, and she and her family were rarely affected by anti-Semitism. However, the economic depression that began in Germany after the First World War began to change the mood across the border in 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor.

#4 Hitler’s speeches denounced capitalism and those who’d allied themselves with Bolsheviks, Communists, and Marxists. He promised to eliminate Jews and other undesirables from Germany in a thorough solution.
