Eva Lustigová (b. 1956, Prague) lived in Czechoslovakia with her parents Arnošt and Věra Lustig and her older brother Josef until Warsaw Pact troops occupied the country in August 1968. For more than 20 years she has worked in Switzerland in the field of international health and management. She has a master’s degree in international business from George Washington University in Washington DC and a bachelor’s in cultural anthropology from American University, also in Washington. The Presence of Arnošt Lustig! (2012) is her cinematic debut. A book of the same name is being published this year by Mladá fronta to coincide with the movie; Lustigová also brought out a collection simply entitled Stories from a Father and Daughter (Povídky, soubor textů otce a dcery, Mladá fronta, 2011), co-authored with her father.
