Post Bellum

Post Bellum is a Czech non-profit organization founded in 2001 by a group of historians and journalists interested in increasing the knowledge of people regarding events that occurred in the 20th Century within the Czech Republic and surrounding European countries. Post Bellum has collected thousands of witness accounts by conducting interviews with people who lived through significant periods in history. Their documentation project, Stories of the 20th Century, is the biggest oral history project in the Czech Republic. Post Bellum’s main goal is to inform the public, especially younger generations, of the historical events of the last century. They do this by organizing many different projects and activities used to raise awareness of modern history. Post Bellum is also an associated member organisation of the Platform of European Memory and Conscience.
