Prague: My Long Journey Home

In this memoir, Heller, born Ota Karel Heller, narrates his family’s story-a family nearly destroyed by the Nazis. The son of a mixed marriage, he was raised a Catholic and was unaware of his Jewish roots, even after his father escaped to join the British army and fifteen members of his family disappeared. Prague: My Long Journey Home tells of his Christian mother being sent to a slave labor camp and of his hiding on a farm to avoid deportation to a death camp.
