"Can the little scavenger not keep its mouth shut for five minutes!" - it cannot, for even at the age of three, Eva, later married as Eva Neurath, the future co-founder and director of the world-renowned art book publisher Thames & Hudson, is so eager to learn that she relentlessly bombards her surroundings with questions. At the age of 80, Eva Neurath looks back on her life in her memoirs, presented here for the first time in German translation - a remarkable life that encompasses all the upheavals of the 20th century - from the German Empire through the Roaring Twenties in Berlin and the rising Nazi dictatorship to exile in London. As the fifth daughter of a strong, emancipated mother and a Jewish father, Eva Neurath, born Itzig, adopted Kahn, and divorced Feuchtwang, grew up in a class-conscious and education-oriented family and began to take an interest in art as a very young woman.
