Born as Maria Jana Korbelova in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1937 - Madeleine Albright was known to her family first as Madla, then Madlenka. It wasn't until the 1950s that she officially became, as she described it, a "thoroughly American Maddy" when she got US citizenship.
Diplomacy was always in her family. When Albright was born her father, Josef Korbel, worked for the Czech government in Belgrade.
After the Nazis invaded their home country in 1939, Korbel fled with his family to London and continued to work for the Czech government in exile while doing broadcasts with the BBC.
Here is a small part of her story.
