This book tells the extraordinary story of friendship, courage, and resistance between Margarete Buber-Neumann and Milena Jesenská, who met in the Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1940. Through this testimony, the author reconstructs Milena's life: from her childhood in Prague and her intense love affair with Franz Kafka, to her work as a journalist and her tragic end under Nazi terror. It is a moving work that pays tribute to an exceptional woman, fulfilling Margarete's promise to keep her friend's memory alive. A necessary account of human dignity in the face of barbarism, noted for its historical depth and emotional weight.
