PRAGUE (AP) — Ivan Klíma, a Czech author and anti-communist dissident whose work and life were shaped by Europe’s 20th-century totalitarian regimes, has died. His son Michal told the Czech ČTK news agency that Klíma died on Saturday morning at home after battling a long illness. Born Ivan Kauders on Sept 14, 1931, in Prague, Klima faced his first repressive regime during World War II when his Jewish family was transported to the Nazis’ Theresienstadt concentration camp. The new Communist regime that took power in Czechoslovakia in 1948 looked promising at first for Klima and many others who had been persecuted. He was expelled from the party in 1967 after criticizing the Communist regime in a speech at a writers’ meeting.
