Kurt Schindler was an impossible man. Kurt had made extravagant claims about their family history. His daughter Meriel spent her adult life trying to keep him at bay.
Or Hitler's Jewish doctor - Dr Bloch? Were they really related to Franz Kafka and Oscar Schindler, of Schindler's List fame? What really happened on Kristallnacht, the night that Nazis beat Kurt's father half to death and ransacked the family home?When Kurt died in 2017, Meriel felt compelled to resolve her mixed feelings about him, and to solve the mysteries he had left behind.Starting with photos and papers found in Kurt's isolated cottage, Meriel embarked on a journey of discovery taking her to Austria, Italy and the USA.
She reconnected family members scattered by feuding and war. She pieced together an extraordinary story taking in two centuries, two world wars and a family business: the famous Cafe Schindler. Launched in 1922 as an antidote to the horrors of the First World War, this grand cafe became the whirling social centre of Innsbruck.
And then the Nazis arrived.Through the story of the Cafe Schindler and the threads that spool out from it, this moving book weaves together memoir, family history and an untold story of the Jews of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It explores the restorative power of writing, and offers readers a profound reflection on memory, truth, trauma and the importance of cake.
