Born in a death camp: A miracle baby and her mother

[Gerald]

Eva Clarke has been called the miracle baby. By the time of her birth, her mother Anka had endured six years of Nazi rule, had survived three concentration camps and weighed just five stone.

n the late 1930s, Anka Bergman was a lively law student living in the Czech capital Prague.

"I wanted company and boyfriends and to enjoy myself. I didn't know that Hitler was coming, but I filled my time with only cinemas and theatres and concerts and parties," she says.

It was at a nightclub that Anka met her husband, Bernd Nathan, an attractive German-Jewish architect who had fled Germany in 1933.

"He thought that it was far enough to be safe," said Eva. "It wasn't but, if he hadn't come to Prague, he wouldn't have met my mother."

In March 1939, the Nazis invaded Prague and, from that moment Anka's life, and Bernd's, changed forever.
