Biography Karel and Jan Saudek were born in Prague in 1935, twin sons of Gustav Saudek, who was Jewish, and his Czech wife. Both of their families originated in Bohemia; Gustav was born in Děčín. After the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia during World War II, the family was subject to the racial persecution by the Nazis. Kája and his brother Jan were imprisoned with other Mischlinge (mixed-blood) children in the Nazi concentration camp Luža in German occupied Poland. Many of their Jewish family members died in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where their father was deported in February 1945, but both brothers and their father survived. Saudek had become familiar with American comics in his early years. He was first inspired mainly by the works of Walt Disney.
