Friends, Family and Colleagues-
We are happy to announce we are having two Prague 1968 Photography Exhibitions in Prague opening August 21 and August 22. The shows have been sponsored and supported by a grant from the US Embassy in Prague and supported by the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes (USTR).
The American Center/US Embassy show opens August 21st and will move in September to the Moravian Library in Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic. When the show is concluded, the photographs will become part of the permanent collection of the National Museum. 40 of our Prague 1968 books will be delivered to the National Library of the Czech Republic, to be distributed to libraries throughout the country.
The USTR show opens August 22nd and will be displayed outdoors in the beautiful Jungmannovo Square in the center of Prague on large panels and will be up through August 31st. We would like to thank the Mayor of Praha 1, Mr. Olfrich Lomecky for this opportunity to share the photographs with the people of Prague.
We are very pleased to have these shows and grateful for the support and skillful work of the American Embassy and USTR and their wonderful staff members. We also thank our great Czech friends, especially Ivan Prokop and Josef Pazderka, for their warm friendship, skillful work and invaluable support.
