Meriel Schindler spent her adult life trying to keep her father, Kurt, at bay. But when he died in 2017, he left behind piles of Nazi-era documents related to her family's fate in Innsbruck and a treasure trove of family albums reaching back to before World War I. Meriel was forced to confront not only their fractured relationship, but also the truth behind their family history. The Lost Café Schindler re-creates the journey of an extraordinary family, whose relatives included the Jewish doctor who treated Hitler's mother when she was dying of breast cancer; the Kafka family; and Alma Schindler, the wife of Gustav Mahler. But the narrative centers around the Café Schindler, famous for its pastries, home-distilled liquors, live entertainment, and hospitality-which was expropriated during the Nazi era. This is a story of tragic loss- several relatives disappeared in Terezín and Auschwitz-but ultimately of reclamation and reconciliation"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Schindler, Hugo,|d1888-1952|xFamily. 600 10 Schindler, Kurt,|d1925-2017|xFamily. 600 30 Schindler family. 610 20 Café Schindler (Innsbruck, Austria)|xHistory. 650 0 Jewish families|zAustria|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Jewish families|zAustria|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Jews|zAustria|zInnsbruck|vBiography. 650 0 Return migrants|zAustria|zInnsbruck|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|zAustria|zInnsbruck. 651 0 Innsbruck (Austria)|vBiography.
