Hiding from Gestapo

Creative idea

Many times, Czech veterans, dissidents, political prisoners and others in opposition to the ruling regime found themselves in situations where only staying silent could save their lives. With our campaign for the National History Archive, the largest public database of witness stories in Europe, we are saying that now we need them to do the opposite – speak up so that their stories can be preserved for future generations. The campaign consists of 3 authentic stories from 3 different decades of the 20th century.
