So today is the 41st anniver­sary of Prague Spring. Around my house grow­ing up I had heard alot about it in snip­pets. It became the sub­ject of fam­ily gath­er­ings (espe­cially after the adults got into drink­ing a bit) — to me it is a some­what dis­tant event that although is a huge part of my fam­ily never directly affected me.

So it was inter­est­ing that my mother decided to finally write the expe­ri­ence down in first per­son form. I read it and it made it more real to me and def­i­nitely made it make sense to me on a more per­sonal level.

Take a few min­utes and have a look at her Prague Spring Mem­o­ries.

Pretty crazy stuff and pretty tur­bu­lent time.
