Summary:  "1939: the Nazis invade 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 abandons their elegant house near Prague Castle, bringing their life of privilege to an abrupt halt. In this memoir 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 become an American girl in a city teeming with immigrants and prejudice. Post-war life brings cherished Holocaust survivors and their harrowing stories. 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? Author Anna Perlberg lives in Chicago"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
