Krátky popis
Kurt Schindler was an impossible man. His daughter Meriel spent her
adult life trying to keep him at bay. Kurt had made extravagant
claims about their family history. Were they really related to
Franz Kafka and Oscar Schindler, of Schindler's List fame? Or
Hitler's Jewish doctor - Dr Bloch? What really happened on
Kristallnacht, the night that Nazis beat Kurt's father half to
death and ransacked the family home? When Kurt died in 2017, Meriel
felt compelled to resolve her mixed feelings about him, and to
solve the mysteries he had left behind. Starting with photos and
papers found in Kurt's isolated cottage, Meriel embarked on a
journey of discovery taking her to Austria, Italy and the USA. She
reconnected family members scattered by feuding and war. She pieced
together an extraordinary story taking in two centuries, two world
wars and a family business: the famous Cafe Schindler. Launched in
1922 as an antidote to the horrors of the First World War, this
grand cafe became the whirling social centre of Innsbruck. And then
the Nazis arrived. Through the story of the Cafe Schindler and the
threads that spool out from it, this moving book weaves together
memoir, family history and an untold story of the Jews of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire. It explores the restorative power of
writing, and offers readers a profound reflection on memory, truth,
trauma and the importance of cake.
