The world of exiles after 1948 and the fates of Czechoslovaks who strove to return freedom and democracy to a homeland where power had been seized by the Communists are an essential part of our modern history. However, there is marginal research into the subject and the public has no more than fragmentary information about it.

On the basis of his own long years of research in domestic and foreign archives, the speaker will outline the most important émigré organisations, personalities and newspapers and place Czechoslovak exiles in the context of the broader European situation and international developments at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s.

The lecture will be delivered by political scientist, historian and independent researcher Martin Nekola.
