Along with his private experiences, he offers the heretofore untold history of an effervescent, unstoppable Prague whose urbane heart went on beating despite the deportations, murders, cruelties, and violence - a Prague that kept its German - and Czech - language theaters open, its fabled film studios functioning, its young people in school and at work, and its newspapers on press.;The day of occupation -- The beginnings of the protectorate: 1939-41 -- Terror and resistance -- The end of the protectorate.
