Milena Blatná: Letters from Underground
In 1952, Milena found herself in the Jáchymov mines, which went down in history as a symbol of suffering. She first worked in the accounting department, then in technical control, where she encountered prisoners on a daily basis.
It was there that she found not only love, but also courage. She began to smuggle out letters from prisoners – small sparks of hope for their families. Every letter was a risk. And one day she was caught. She expected to end up behind bars, but instead there was a twist – the deaths of Stalin and Gottwald. How did it all turn out? Come and experience Milena's story.

Leopold Färber: The Man with the 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 evil must not be given in to. After the war, his spirit of defiance remained. Together with the Mark brothers, he decided to stand up to the new regime—this time communist. They sought out explosives and planned an attack on the police academy.
But everything went wrong. How did he get his glass eye? You can find out in the interactive exhibition Silent Heroes.
