Discussion: 80 Years Since the Liberation of Buchenwald – The Fate of the Survivors

The liberation of Buchenwald concentration camp on 10 April 1945 ended the suffering of thousands of prisoners, including hundreds of children, who were saved by Czech political prisoner Antonín Kalina. What fate awaited the survivors? How did courage, solidarity and hope manifest themselves in such inhuman conditions? These questions will be discussed by Israeli writer Limor Regev, author of a forthcoming book about Antonín Kalina, and Michal Šmíd, administrator of the Memory of Nations portal and editor of the Memory of Nations magazine. The evening will be moderated by Martin Groman, journalist and co-host of the podcast Přepište dějiny.
