The CCMH presents the annual Czech Heritage Month Concert featuring the Apollo Players.
Hundreds of thousands of Slovaks and Czechs fled their homeland during the communist era, many risking their lives in the process. Their stories, about why and how they emigrated, are sometimes dramatic, sometimes tragic, and essential to our understanding of the events that shaped the 20th Century. These first-person accounts form the core of “Leaving Czechoslovakia,” a new traveling exhibition from the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library. The project captures and preserves the stories of Czechs and Slovaks who fled their homeland during the Cold War.
Tuesday - Saturday, 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
