Jerry and Elizabeth Matejka met on a boat traveling from Bohemia,
now known as the Czech Republic, to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1907.
To pursue their dreams in America, Jerry and Elizabeth traveled
halfway around the world and joined the ranks of the idealistic,
hardworking immigrants flocking to the United States in the early
twentieth century. Strangers at the beginning of the voyage, the
two young lovers were inseparable upon arrival in America, and they
married soon after their boat docked in the Maryland harbor. The
Matejkas is the remarkable true story of these two determined
pioneers and their life together as they started a business and
raised a family in their new homeland.
Told from the loving perspective of their daughter Slava Matejka
Mowll, "The Matejkas" is a compelling family biography brought
alive by vivid narrative and the imagery of beautifully preserved
family photographs. From the Matejkas' early days in Baltimore to
the intense drama of the Second World War, the author's memoir is a
fascinating view of the life experiences of first-generation
Americans.
An unforgettable true saga, "The Matejkas" is a story of
persistence and triumph told against the backdrop of one of the
most important eras in American history.
