In their own words...

"We got involved in this project because people have been gradually forgetting how World War II changed people's lives, mostly Jewish. Many of them died and to those who were lucky and survived, the nightmares will evoke memories of the horrors that were committed on them. Today's generation, without any knowledge what it is all about, only laughs at it. That is why we think that this project can help them to understand."

"In 1899 there was the first Jewish gymnastics club in Czech lands called Bar Kochba, in 1924 renamed ZKS Makkabi. Jan Mayer was a member as well - in the photo of the Makkabi Games 1931."
