Beschreibung
When a scandal occurs, the actors usually don't spread it around much. When a scandal happens, the actors try to cover it up at all costs. In many cases, they succeed. However, erasing all traces is much harder. And so our history is full of stories we were not meant to know. Why does the whole world know about Elizabeth Báthory, while no one knows her Czech predecessor? How is it possible that a murdered bandit, a hero of novels, was released from prison 15 years after his death? Why are archaeologists still afraid to open the tomb of a significant nobleman? What terrible history does the real-life inspiration for Count Dracula hide in the underground of Český Krumlov? What caused the Czech fascists' attempt to outpace Hitler and seize power here before it succeeded in Germany to fail? Why did the centerpiece of the Czech anti-Nazi resistance become open-faced sandwiches? A well-known Czech reporter seeks answers to these and other stories from our history.
