Hanna and Walter

The authors recount their early life in Czechoslovakia, their separation, Hanna's marriage and experiences in Nazi concentration camps, Walter's search for her after the war, and their unlikely, dramatic reunion

Hanna and Walter Kohner first met and fell in love in a small Czech town during the winter of 1935. Though the looming war in Europe caused them to separate, they never fell out of love with each other. Their story of love overcoming impossible odds was one of the few Holocaust stories with a happy ending. They spent the remainder of their lives in Los Angeles, where Walter was a well-known agent representing actors, authors and directors.Frederick Kohner, Walter?s brother, who helped edit this book, came to Los Angeles before the war. He became the well-known author of the Gidget series, and Kikki of Montparnasse.
