She expected to end up behind bars, but instead, an unexpected twist arrived: the deaths of Stalin and Gottwald. How did it all turn out? Come and experience Milena’s story.

Leopold Färber: The Man with a Glass Eye
Leopold's father was Jewish, his mother Catholic. It was this "mixed marriage" that saved the family from being transported to an extermination camp.
As a boy nicknamed Hurvínek, he carried messages between resistance groups and learned that one must never yield to evil. After the war, his spirit of defiance remained. Together with the Marek brothers, he decided to stand up to the new communist regime. They gathered explosives and planned an attack on a police academy.
But everything went wrong. How did he get his glass eye? You will find out at The Quiet Heroes interactive exhibition.
