Help keep their
stories alive.

Our work is self-funded and made possible by those who join our tours in Prague or send a donation. Your support means the world to us.

Historian Jiri Kluc and Holocaust survivor and WWII veteran Harry Arnstein holding a book about Arnstein’s life, surrounded by letters and drawings.
Jiri Kluc presents Harry Arnstein with 424 thank-you letters and drawings from schoolchildren in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, alongside a book documenting his life. Arnstein survived internment in Italy and later fought at Dunkirk with the Czechoslovak Armoured Brigade. The encounter took place on Long Island.

A shared responsibility.

No one is paid for this work. We do it out of a sense of duty: these lives and experiences must not be forgotten.
