Lili Kraus

"Kraus's life was as fascinating as her music. As Nazism hovered over Germany, she and her husband, Otto Mandl, converted to Catholicism and finally fled to the Dutch East Indies, where they and their two children were interned by the Japanese in separate prisoner-of-war camps. Kraus turned that grim and bitter experience into an opportunity for personal and professional reflection and growth." "An intriguing world figure, she became an American by association when she moved to Texas to accept a position with TCU in Fort Worth."--Jacket.
