Why Didn't They Leave? by Eva Hnizdo
When 19-year-old Zuzana flees from communist Czechoslovakia to England in 1972, she says she just wants freedom. She feels an overwhelming urge to discover more about her familys tragic history. So she embarks on a life-changing journey and tries to answer the question which haunts her: Why didnt they leave?
Eva Hnizdo is a Jewish Czech, born in Prague in 1953. She is the granddaughter of a man who lost his life by deciding not to emigrate in 1938, and a daughter of parents who, after surviving the Holocaust, spent most of their adult lives under an oppressive communist regime. Eva studied medicine at Charles University in Prague and became a doctor. She escaped to the West in 1986 and obtained political asylum in the UK in 1987 with her husband and two sons. She worked as a full-time GP partner at the same surgery in Watford for twenty-three years. Now retired, she spends her time writing.
