During these days, the doors of the train station building – a crossroads of fate during the 20th century – are wide open to the second and third generations of families affected by the Shoah. The Memorial of Silence is always trying to include into our collective remembering anyone who finds it important to actively commemorate their parents’ and grandparents’ memories.
This year, we commemorated the past through music and by presenting several new books and meeting with the descendants of people who transformed their memories into writing. The musical ensemble Vibrafonissimo (Radek Krampl, Ladislav Horák, and Vít Švec) came up with a loose interpretation of the melodies that Prague’s citizens might have heard as they left via Bubny station during the Protectorate.
