註釋Memoirs of a Jew who was born in 1926 in Prague. Describes the Nazi dismemberment of Czechoslovakia in 1938-39 and its impact on the Jews. Schiff's family planned to emigrate to Curaçao, but her father changed his mind and they remained in Prague. In May 1942 they were deported to Theresienstadt. Relates the terrible conditions of infectious diseases and starvation. Schiff's sister died in 1943, and her parents died in 1944. Other relatives were deported to Maly Trostinets (near Minsk), where they perished. Vera managed to evade deportation, and in 1944 witnessed the feverish preparations for the visit of the Red Cross representatives, in the course of which the Nazis liquidated all the sick inmates. In the ghetto, Schiff married another inmate and became pregnant; her pregnancy was terminated in order to avoid deportation. After the liberation she returned to Prague. In 1949 she and her husband emigrated, first to Israel and later to Canada.
