Heritage of the Kaiser's Children: An Autobiography
Ruth Michaelis-Jena's childhood in the capital of a small German principality has the charm and magic of a Grimms fairy-tale. It is blessedly free of the dictatorial management and political persecution of later periods in her life when, as a Jew, she was forced to emigrate to Britain.
A moving account is given of her reception in Scotland's capital, a refuge which was temporarily shattered by her internment on the Isle of Man as a suspected enemy alien.
This autobiography covers a variety of moods. Set in a number of countries, all well observed, it is pervaded by a spirit of humanity that is truly civilised and inspiring.
