Just an Ordinary Day
18. 11. 2024
Last Friday, a group of exchange students from the USA visited us in Jáchymka for a workshop we organised in cooperation with @vertoeducation. During the time we spent together, we discussed the repressions and regulations that gradually eroded the rights of Jews in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and how they affected them. In one activity we discussed what an ordinary day might be like for us, and then we saw how, over time, personal life became more and more restricted and participation in society was forbidden.
The workshop was followed by an insightful Q&A discussion with Mrs Lehovcová, who told the story of her mother Anna Hyndráková, who survived Theresienstadt and Auschwitz, as well as her own upbringing after the war, how the family dealt with their history and Mrs Lehovcová's experiences with anti-Semitism during the communist regime and in today’s Czech Republic.
We would like to thank Mrs Lehovcová for sharing her story with us and the participants for their keen interest and participation.
