Episode Synopsis

Eva Haňková is a Czechoslovak-born centenarian who lives in the United States. She is one of the few surviving people who met Czechoslovakia’s co-founder and first president T.G. Masaryk. The few seconds with the president made her an overnight celebrity. To this day philatelists know her as “the girl from the stamp with President Masaryk”.
