Fear no evil

This is the story of a young Jewish woman born in Budapest at the beginning of World War One. In 1918 she survived the Spanish flu. Europe in between the two World Wars was in a state of upheaval following the peace treaties. Evil and hatred was especially strong in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire and Clara Kraus, like all Jews of that time, felt the effects of that hatred. By 1944 her house had been destroyed by bombing, she had been herded into a ghetto, put on a cattle train bound for Auschwitz, given birth to a child in a camp, escaped the notorious SS and made her way back to Budapest with a small son and a baby in her arms. Her husband too had survived the death camp Mauthausen and eventually was reunited with the family.
