Děti Antonína Kaliny - Příběh českého vězně, jehož odvaha překonala sílu smrti – Motl Stanislav (2022)

The second expanded edition with previously unpublished authentic memories of Antonín Kalina. An almost unbelievable yet true story of a Czech prisoner who managed to save a thousand children from the cruel conditions of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Children who were awaiting death. His name was Antonín Kalina, and he was from Třebíč. Forgotten at home, revered in the world, especially in the USA and Israel. In 2012, he became the latest Czech to be awarded the title "Righteous Among the Nations" in Israel. Unlike the media-famous rescuers of Jews, Oskar Schindler or Nicholas Winton, Antonín Kalina faced death every day. He organized the rescue of children in a situation where his own life was literally at stake. Day after day. Night after night. The Gestapo's accompanying documents stated - return undesirable. Thanks to him, a rescue operation took place in the heart of hell, which is unparalleled in the history of World War II. The second edition of the book is enriched with previously unpublished, unique memories of Antonín Kalina, discovered in the estate of his fellow prisoner and lifelong friend, Dr. Jindřich Flusser. This nearly sixty-page typewritten document reveals the blank spots in the history of the Buchenwald concentration camp and the Nazis...
