A series of photographs by Pavel Hroch.

The Czech 20th century was long and cruel and to this day society has not come to terms with it. The people whose portraits Pavel Hroch has taken for this series of photographs managed in the years 1938/39–1989 to stand up to evil, to risk their lives and to put justice and culture ahead of their own peace and comfort. Each belongs to a minority whose actions contributed to a worthy tradition, to the fact that we have something to build on today.

Pavel Hroch will speak about how he found and captured “his people”, and what the series means to him personally, with Viktor Portel.
