In celebration of International Women’s Day, I’m reading Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948, written by Dr. Madeleine Albright—one of the most accomplished and influential women of our time.
Prague Winter is a story with three layers. First, it’s a memoir of Albright’s sudden discovery, when she was 59, of her family’s Jewish heritage and her search for the details of the family’s h
istory. Second, it is a story of WWII-era politics told from the perspective of her homeland in Czechoslovakia.
Third, and even more intriguing, this book is an exploration of the moral complexities faced by Albright’s parents and their generation. That literary structure—which puts the personal within an historical context and demonstrates how each influences the other—makes the book a fascinating read.
Here’s a link to the article on The Women’s Eye.
