Kafka's sister Ottla [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Subhash.Jaireth at GA.GOV.AU]

Hi All,

Franz Kafka had three sisters. The youngest Ottla was his favourite. Ottla as we know married Joseph David, a Czech Catholic and nationalist. Ottla divorced her husband to save him and their two daughters from persecution. Ottla herself perished in Auschwitz. The Kafka encyclopaedia (Richard Gray and others) notes that Josef died in 1962.

I was wondering if Kafka scholars in the list know a bit more about Josef's life in and outside Prague. One of their daughters I am told still lives in Canada.

Will be extremely grateful for any clues, leads, information.



Thanks



Subhash
