Description
Gerta A Novel by Kateřina Tučková is a powerful and poignant novel about one woman's struggle for forgiveness in a divided postwar world. In 1945, Allied forces liberate Brno, Moravia, but for Gerta Schnirch, daughter of a Czech mother and German father, it marks the beginning of a long and difficult journey. Gerta has been branded an enemy of the state, forced to leave her home and family behind as part of the expulsions ordered by the official. With nothing but the clothes on her back and an infant daughter, she must navigate the changing tides of war and find a way to seek justice in a world that seems determined to deny it. This novel illuminates a long-neglected episode in Czech history, exploring themes of exclusion, prejudice, collective shame, and personal guilt through Gerta's courageous story.
