Description
"The Story of Darkness tells the real-life story of Karl Berger, a Viennese Jew. Growing up in Leopoldstadt, the second Viennese district, he seems firmly established in his Austrian identity. But in the early thirties, the growing anti-Semitism and the hostilities towards the Jewish population make him realize that his secure identity was just an illusion. After the Anschluss, the eighteen-year-old Berger emigrates to England. He joins the Czech Exile Army and fights against the German show more troops in France and Germany. After the war, he attempts to settle in England and Israel. In 1962 he returns to Austria only to find out that he has become a stranger in his native country."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
