Lectures: Remember Lidice?
“Remember Lidice” is a dramatic appeal to the people of the world not to forget the tragic event of June 10, 1942 when an entire village near Kladno was leveled and its inhabitants shot or sent to concentration camps. This appeal is as powerful in the Czech recent history as the battle cry “Remember Maine” is in US history. Yet we cannot remember Lidice the way two sisters, last survivors of the tragedy of a village near Kladno. They will be featured on SKYPE during the last of the lecture series organized by the Czech and Slovak Cultural Center and the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development:
When: Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 9:00 – 12:00 a.m.
Where: ROOM 2-224 Carlson School of Management, 321 19th Ave So., Minneapolis, MN. Park on street or in the ramp opposite the school accessible by sky walk
The two sisters, Mrs. Jarmila Sklenickova and Mrs. Miloslava Kalibova have unbelievable memories they will share with us, while their granddaughter, Sarka Kadlecová will moderate the panel in Prague, with J. Mestenhauser here. Mrs. Sklenickova just published her memoirs (also now available in English under the title “If I were a boy I would have been shot”) and both are key persons appearing now in a full feature movie by the same name, LIDICE.
We have been able to obtain the feature movie, Lidice, that is topping all ratings in Prague, even surpassing the film made from Vaclav Havel’s theater script, Odchazeni (Departing).
PUT THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR NOW. TO MEET SPECIAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROGRAM, A VOLUNTARY DONATION OF $5.00 ($3.00 FOR STUDENTS) WILL BE GREATFULLY APPRECIATED.
