Her remarkable story became the subject of a book and is currently the focus of an Oscar-nominated documentary. Details about Herz-Sommer's life and perspectives on her experiences were included in the Associated Press obituary that was picked up in today's sfgate.com.
Intriguingly, as a young girl, she met Franz Kafka, who was a friend of Herz-Sommer's brother-in-law. Apparently, she "enjoyed the stories that (Kafka) told." Unstated was whether the author's stories included references to a castle.
