520    Czech writer Ivan Klima masterfully recounts, first, what 
       it was like for him as a Jewish child confronting with his
       family the inhumanities of the Theresienstadt 
       concentration camp situated at the edge of their hometown,
       Prague. Then, more fully, he painstakingly recalls what it
       was like for him and his countrymen after the Nazi thugs 
       were driven out by the Soviet Army and replaced for four 
       decades by the Communist thugs. Includes an appendix of 
       essays on topics ranging from social history and political
       thinking to love and liberty.
