E. Prager Verlag

In 1931 Eugen Prager started working as a publisher in the publishing house E. Prager Verlag in Vienna. His brother Emmerich had the license for the company.

Eugen went to Prague in 1934, where he changed the company’s name to “E. Prager Verlag Bratislava Wien Leipzig.” In 1936, he published 14 books, though in 1937/38 only 3 books each year.

When the Germans occupied the Sudeten German region, Prager stopped his publishing activities. He succeeded in escaping to England before the German army marched into Czechoslovakia in March 1939. In 1940 Eugen Prager founded the Lincolns-Prager Publishing Ltd. in London.
