Share:

The Slovak branch of Post Bellum, an organization dedicated to collecting and documenting testimonies from witnesses of 20th-century totalitarian regimes, has processed the story of Dušan Halaj, who was born on November 10, 1937, in Strakonice in southern Bohemia. The organization focuses on preserving firsthand accounts from survivors of wartime and communist-era experiences to prevent historical revisionism and ensure these memories are not forgotten. Post Bellum actively seeks out elderly witnesses whose stories can provide valuable historical documentation of Slovakia's turbulent 20th century. The organization encourages the public to suggest potential witnesses whose experiences should be recorded before they are lost to time.
