Cafe Slavia

A tour for those who would like to learn about communism and its fall from someone who truly experienced it. I was born in Prague and spent my childhood and youth under the communist regime. Some members of my family fell victim to the communist policy of repression. Then, in November 1989, I became one of the participants in the so-called Velvet Revolution—an event that brought communism in Czechoslovakia to an end. Just a few months later, I began working in the presidential office of Vaclav Havel—the famous dissident and playwright. As you can see, I have a lot to tell you. This tour is not just a tour for me—it is the story of my life. During our walk, we will visit places connected with the protests organized in November 1989—the National Avenue, the National Theatre, Wenceslas Square, the Monument to St. Wenceslas, Lucerna Palace, the headquarters of the state secret police, and several others. I will share my personal memories from that time with you. Yours, Jana Neubergova
