The first writing assignment for this course is a 5-6 page (12-point font, doublespaced, maximum of 1500 words) essay on Heda Margolius Kovly, Under A
Cruel Star. A Life in Prague, 1941 1968, New York: Holmes & Meier 1986.
Please answer the following question:
Based on your reading of Heda Margolius Kovlys autobiography,
how would you explain the initial appeal of Communism
to many people in Eastern Europe after 1945?
For background information on the establishment of Communist governments in
Eastern Europe after 1945, I recommend ch. 4: Behind the Iron Curtain:
Communism in Power, 1945-1953 in William I. Hitchcock, The Struggle for
Europe, New York: Anchor 2004, pp. 98-125.
