Ginz, Otto (Père) - Courte biographie
- Chava Pressburger was born Eva Ginzová in Prague, Czechoslovakia. She and her older brother Petr Ginz had a Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother. Theirs was a liberal, Zionist home. When Bohemia and Moravia were annexed by Nazi Germany in 1939, the siblings were considered Jews. In 1942, Petr was deported to the concentration camp at Terezín (Theresienstadt), and Eva followed in May 1944. She was placed in an orphanage for girls and put to work. She managed to meet up with Petr, who taught her English, read to her, and checked up on her studies. Petr had written and illustrated five novels between the ages of 8 and 14. He continued to write short stories and articles and edited the underground youth newspaper Vedem. In September 1944, Petr was deported to Auschwitz and killed. Eva kept a journal in which she described her life in the camp. Most of the journal was later published in Salvaged Pages (2002), an anthology of young writers during the Holocaust. In February 1945, the siblings' father Otto Ginz arrived at Terezín. Otto and Eva survived, and returned to their home in Prague at the end of World War II. Later, another young Terezín survivor who had hidden Petr’s art and writings gave them to Otto. Chava studied art in Prague, and in 1948 moved first to Vienna and then to Paris with Abraham Pressburger, who later became her husband. In 1949, the couple emigrated to Israel, settling in Beersheva. There Chava continued to create and teach art. In 1993, she received the Sussman Prize for her Holocaust-related artwork. She published Petr’s journal, with the help of Yad Vashem, in 2005 as as Diary of My Brother.

The diary was fascinating to read. This Kid Petr was interested in so many different subjects, especially science, just like me!! He was also a rather good artist as well. Many of his drawings and artworks have survived as well as some of his diaries.
Petr was sent to the Theresienstadt Ghetto in 1942 when he was 14 years old. His younger sister Eva arrived at Theresienstadt in 1944 when she also turned 14. Petr was shipped off to Auschwitz some 2 months after Eva's arrival.
Eva Ginzova was liberated from Theresienstadt in 1945. She is now called Chava Pressburger.
The diary entries were interesting - well those that said more then just, went to school, went home, or nothing special.
The only complaint I have is that the list of people and relatives whom Petr mentions is not at the front of the diary. Instead this list is found at the back. So I went through the diary not knowing who everyone was in relation to Petr.
That lack of names (at the front) drops this down to 4 stars.… (plus d'informations)
