Episode Synopsis

Born in 1929, Dita Kraus lived through the horrors of the Holocaust and went on to build a new life in the young state of Israel. Her story — from a Prague childhood to Terezín, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen — became a lasting symbol of courage and resilience. She called Czechoslovakia and Israel her “two imperfect homelands,” forever linked by memory and loss. Dita Kraus passed away on October 18, 2025.
