Hana Hoffmeister recalls the same historical period that Malka Hahn spoke about.
Hana Hoffmeister was born in 1920 in Prague. Her father was Jewish according to Nazi theories, her mother was not.
After the occupation, her fate was linked to that of the Jews by the laws in force at the time. She volunteered for the transport so that she would not have to leave her beloved, even though as a "half-breed" she did not have to, and went with him to the ghetto in Terezín. There she worked as a nurse. In Terezín she also married and became pregnant, and a son was born. Together with her husband, who survived Auschwitz, she finished her studies after the war and worked as a doctor in the field of radio-diagnostics.
The interview was filmed in Prague in May 1996.
