Radka Denemarková looks at the repressed German-Czech post-war history (Czech Republic)

After she had survived the hell of Auschwitz, 16-year-old Gita returned to her home village in Bohemia. But the family home was confiscated and the German speaker was prosecuted as an enemy of the state. In her award-winning novel, "Ein herrlicher Flecken Erde" (tr: A heavenly Speck of Earth) Radka Denemarková examines the repressed realities in 20th century European history.
