Future Fund promotes German-Czech remembrance work

Sculptors exhibit across borders

A cross-border artistic dialog on the topic of "War, Freedom, Art" is also planned. German artists are to present their works in the Czech cities of Olomouc, Prague, Marianske Lazne (Marienbad) and Cheb (Eger). In return, four Czech sculptors are to exhibit in Wunsiedel in north-eastern Bavaria.

"This year marks the 80th anniversary since the end of the Second World War, the memento of which is all the more powerful at a time when the world is striving to end the armed conflict in Ukraine," announced the Board of Directors of the Future Fund.

After the Munich Agreement of September 1938, National Socialist Germany annexed the Sudeten territories of Czechoslovakia. In March 1939, the Wehrmacht marched into Prague and established the so-called "Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia". The Nazis' reign of terror only ended with the liberation by the Allies in 1945.
