\ufeff\n\n\xa0\n\nApril 4, 2022 - What would you do if your estranged father died, leaving behind piles of Nazi-era documents related to the fate of your family's caf\xe9 in the world wars? In this episode, our time machine travels back to the inter-war years, to meet a Jewish family rocked by the turmoil of Austria-Hungary and them Germany coming out on the losing side.\n\nOur guide on this journey is Meriel Schindler who brings us The Lost Caf\xe9 Schindler: One Family, Two Wars, and the Search for Truth. After her father Kurt's death, Meriel was left to confront their broken relationship, and untangle the truth behind the tales he spun -- stories of an extraordinary family tree featuring Franz Kafka, Oskar Schindler, the Jewish doctor who treated Hitler\u2019s and his mother, and others. Only one thing was concrete: The caf\xe9 that the Nazis stole when her family was forced to flee.\n\nFind our guest at MerielSchindler.com, or at @MerielSchindler on Twitter.\n\nSpecial thanks investigative journalist Gerald Posner for submitting a video question on anti-Semitism for The Lost Caf\xe9 Schindler, and also providing a blurb for the book.
