On the occassion of the 1OOth anniversary of her birth, one of her oldest students recalls her destiny. A Jewish woman who left Prague at the beginning of the Nazi occupation, she lived in Australia for six years. Afterwards, she returned to Czechoslovakia, where her work was not fully appreciated.
