Karel's family was persecuted in the 1930s and 40s in Bohemia and Germany due to racial persecution, and as a half-Jew it was difficult for him to get an education at all.

Shortly after August 21, 1968, as an active participant in the Prague Spring, he lost his job and eventually, after political unrest and relocations, had to move permanently to Germany.
