“Magda Toffler” is the second part of Boris Nikitin’s diptych. Only after his grandmother died did he learn that she was Jewish. In 1944/45, she had to hide in a barn for months while most of her family members were killed in extermination camps. She kept all this to herself, founded a family and was the first female professor of chemistry in socialist Czechoslovakia. A piece of genealogical research that also reflects major issues of the 20th century.
