Die Tochter des Maestros. Eine Familiengeschichte über Exil, Verlust, Erinnerung und Versöhnung (Publikation von Eveline Adler im Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag)
Maestro's Daughter tells two intertwined lives: Kurt Adler, the brilliant Jewish conductor who fled Nazi-annexed Austria. His daughter Eveline only began to grasp the full weight of this history after a burnout forced her to stop and look back.
Maestro's Daughter is the story of two lives shaped by one of history's darkest chapters. Kurt Adler came from a distinguished Ashkenazi Jewish dynasty reaching back to the 17th century—philanthropists, intellectuals, a family of standing in Vienna, Bohemia, and Prague. The Nazis destroyed nearly all of it. Forced to flee Austria in 1938, Kurt lost his parents and most of his family to the Holocaust. He rebuilt his life in America, eventually becoming Chorus Master at the Metropolitan Opera, but the losses never left him. His daughter Eveline, raised in the glow of Lincoln Center and New York's cultural elite, only began to grasp the full weight of this history after a burnout forced her to stop and look back. What followed was years of determined research—through Czech villages, Viennese archives, and Soviet-era Volgograd—to recover the memory and dignity of a family the Nazis had tried to erase.
