František Havlíček was born on December
2nd, 1908, so he would be 100 years old this
December. Two monstrous totalitarian regimes
invaded his life, passing the sceptre in
Czechoslovakia inconspicuously. He succeeded
surviving under the first regime, the
Nazi one, although he was imprisoned and
his relatives executed; but the second, communist
regime cut his life short violently. His
fate is a memento for us. It illustrate the
malpractices of both regimes and the whole
machine serving them. But this should not
be all. It also show us that there were people
who would not put up with evil, regardless
of whether it was “black” or “red” evil, and
resisted it with everything available to them.
František Havlíček, a hero of the anti-Nazi
resistance and a retired policeman, was
sentenced to death in one of many fabricated
communist trials.
