Karel Engliš - Politician and Economist
This year we are commemorating 130th anniversary of birth of nearly forgotten Czech politician and scientist Karel Engliš. The fact that only experts or laics interested in the history know his name and that common public has no inkling of him cannot reduce his importance. That is to say, Karel Engliš left at least the same impression as his much more famous colleague, and sometime also his objector Alois Rašín. There are two basic areas which went throughout the entire Engliš' life – economy and politics. It is necessary to add that in both areas he left great impression.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki, August 1945
In midsummer 1945 the World War II was a thing of the past in Europe. Thanks to that, Europeans regard May 1945 as the end of this devastating conflict. However, it is rather a distorted idea because the war continued on.

Mrs. Hana - on the occasion of 125th birth anniversary of Hana Benešová
"President Masaryk said that if it had not been for Beneš we would not have had that republic of ours. But the absolute truth is that without Mrs. Hana Beneš we would not have such an admirably strong-willed, steadfast and supremely successful Beneš. It was not an easy life through which that fair-hair, placid and so to speak pastel woman had to pass; she performed work great and hidden but very precious".
