From 11 November to 23 November 2015 Czech Embassy in Tel Aviv hosted a team of Post Bellum (from Latin “after the war”), which is a non-profit-organization founded in 2001 by a group of Czech journalists and historians who are contacting witnesses of historic events and give them the opportunity to tell their stories in detail and in their entirety. These memories bear precious testimony not only about modern history, but about the character of the Czech people as well.
That is why international internet archive of witnesses’ memories - Memory of Nations - was born in cooperation of Post Bellum, Czech Radio and the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes.
Team of Post Bellum supported by Czech Centre and Czech Embassy recorded in November 2016 interviews with number of Czechoslovak compatriots and Holocaust survivors living in Israel. Their testimony is very important for our future and we are grateful to all who came to share their stories.
Robert Portel and Adam Drda brought the records in the meantime to Prague to archive them. Post Bellum tries to pass on these stories to the broader public by preparing exhibitions, publishing books or organizing social events. Post Bellum continuously search for new ways of getting people interested in the topic, of stirring up a society-wide debate on democratic values. We were glad that we could support the project.
