Infos

A peaceful childhood in pre-war Czechoslovakia seemed on course for a happy ending with her soul-mate Arno: but Hitler and war intervened. Arno perished in the Holocaust, but Zdenka carried his ring from Terezin to Auschwitz to Kurzbach, on a 300-mile death march to Gross Rosen and finally to Belsen. There, in the last chaotic days of the war, she almost died of starvation, but was saved by a British army officer, whose name she never learnt, and to whom her book The Tin Ring is dedicated.

Autor

Now 90, Zdenka Fantlova, like her book, exemplifies the indomitable will to survive the worst of horrors, and emerge strong and compassionate. The author continues to give talks on the Holocaust to schools, universities and various associations in the UK, Germany and the Czech Republic. Since 1969 she has made London her home.
