Episode Synopsis

The weekend edition of Czechia in 30 Minutes revisits the story of the Jan Hus Educational Foundation, a British initiative that secretly supported Czech and Slovak thinkers during communism. Among its quiet heroes were Barbara Day and Nancy Durham, whose courage helped preserve independent education and free expression. The legacy of the Jan Hus Foundation is now honored in a new exhibition in Brno called Sparks of Freedom.
