A lost love

Separated by War, Linked by Memory: A Compelling and Thought-Provoking Story in the Wake of World War II In pre-war Prague, Lenka, a young art student, falls in love with Josef, a newly graduated doctor. They live full of ideals and dreams for the future, but they are also Jewish and deeply attached to their family. They marry, but soon after, like so many other families, they are separated by war. The choices imposed by fate drive them apart, but leave lasting scars: the chaos and truncated information from wartime lead them to believe that the other is dead. In America, Josef becomes a successful obstetrician and builds a family, though he never forgets the woman he believes is dead. In the Terezín ghetto, Lenka survives thanks to her artistic talents and the memory of a husband she thought she would never see again. Despite all the trials and misfortunes, she keeps the flame of that first love alive, hidden in her heart. From the glamorous life of pre-occupied Prague to the horrors of Nazi Europe, A Lost Love explores the power of first love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the eternal capacity to remember.
