	Introduction: Jiri Weil's Life With a Star - Editor
		Jiri Weil's Life with a Star is considered by many to be the best Czechoslovakian novel of the early 1940s.
		It tells the story of Josef Roubicek, who, like other Jews living in Prague under the Nazis, wears a yellow star made of cloth over his heart.
		Weil contrasts this cloth star with the stars in the sky, just as he contrasts the world of death created by the Nazis with the world of life.

	Fire Under the Water - Arnost Lustig
		Jiri Weil's Life with a Star belongs to this latter category.
		In those times, Weil had the courage to befriend young writers, and his was rare courage indeed.
		Yet Weil was a sad man, despite having one of those beautiful smiles that so often serve sad people as a deceptive façade.

	Mendelssohn is on the Roof Reviewer's Bookwatch - Find Articles
		Jiri Weil takes the reader into the confused labyrinth of the Nazi occupation of Prague from 1938 to the Soviet Liberation.
		Although fictional, Weil draws a realistic portayal of occupied Prague and the daily struggle for survival under the Nazi Protectorate.
		And although Weil ends his book with the liberation by Soviet troops, the story of Jewish liberation and revival did not happen until about 1994 when the Spanish Syangogue was once more opened for the High Holiday services after the Nazi occupation.

		Jiri Weil wrote a famous book Life with the Star, where he used his own experiences as a survivor of the Holocaust.
		In this visionary book, Weil is drawing to us with gentle sweeps a political and social void.
		In this manner Weil is taking a step outwards from the dimension of the modern life that Kafka analysed in his introspection of bureaucratic individuality.

		Mendelssohn Is on the Roof By Jiri Weil Translated by Marie Winn.
		The enigmatic title of Jiri Weil's newly published novel refers to an incident in the first chapter.
		Weil shows how the word "transports" -- "an ordinary word, one usually associated with furniture moving" -- suddenly takes on a horrific new meaning; how a simple knock on the door comes to signify one's worst nightmares.

		In a series of biting ironies, Weil, who died in 1959, takes us on a guided tour of the hearts and minds of both victims and persecutors.
		Images of statues are abundant throughout the text, from an enormous Moses being hauled into storage to the tragic paralysis of a Jewish doctor to this musing on the part of the infamous Heydrich: "Knowing the secret of the Final Solution means invisible power.
		Of course, they are all unlucky, eventually, from the innocent to the collaborators, and even those in the resistance who try to hide their countrypeople from the crushing progress of the "Final Solution." Weil, himself a death camp survivor, writes an unblinking portrait of the Prague he knew.

		Weil (1900-1959) builds his drama through a series of telling vignettes; in one pathetic scene a doll cries "Mama" as toys of Jewish children are carted off to a warehouse.

		This slim, wartime classic was written in the mid-1940s when the author's experiences during the Holocaust were still fresh; the "star" of the title refers of course to the Star of David European Jews under Hitler were forced to wear.
		Unlike many survivor's accounts, Weil's novel (which I assume from the biographical material prefacing this work is probably quite autobiographical) does not deal with any aftermath to the Holocaust.
		Weil takes his character Josef Rubicek through budding romance, poverty on the outskirts, danger, demeaning treatment, and the daily effort to survive, in Prague during the Holocaust.

	With a Star - BOOK WORLD
		Life with a Star, an extraordinary novel by Jiri Weil, a Czech Jew who survived by pretending to commit suicide and by hiding from the Germans, goes a long way toward answering the question.
		Weil's novel is one of the most important works of Holocaust literature to appear in English, but it is more than that.
		Weil utilized his own harrowing wartime experiences to write Life with a Star, an account of how the Nazis organized the Jewish community of Prague for its own destruction and what it took, morally and psychologically, to escape the Nazi dragnet.

	North Korea's Evil Regime
		Thanks to Vrba, Wetzler and countless numbers of other witnesses, the horrors and extent of the Nazi final solution are universally known.
		Like the Nazi Holocaust, the crimes and brutal reality of Soviet communism were also outlined and understood thanks to the writings of Arthur Koestler, Jírí Weil and Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
		Fortunately, people who use direct eyewitness testimony in attempts to expose the greatest crimes against humanity can be found in each era and all over the world.

		To begin with, only someone born on another planet would be unable to guess who ''they'' are.
		Poor man; not even in death, not even in a country where most people earnestly wish him the best, is he allowed to have his way.
		Jiri Weil's stripped, stark, uninflected novel makes us realize that when people are shipped off, no matter in what numbers, they go one by one by one.
