Post Bellum is a non-profit organization that has been searching for and recording the memories of key witnesses of the 20th century since 2001. It was established by a group of Czech journalists and historians who met at conferences and annual commemorative events and were convinced that witnesses should be given the opportunity to tell their stories in a coherent, comprehensive and detailed way.
The core project of the organization is the Memory of Nations. Post Bellum is also trying to make the memories it gains come to the attention of a wider audience. Post Bellum collaborators work on expanding the collection, providing financial resources and running the organization, coordinating educational projects for children and adults, etc. Post Bellum organizes exhibitions, social events and publishes books. For ten years they have been broadcasting “Stories of the 20th Century” on Czech Radio. Through their experience workshops and the extensive educational project Stories of Our Neighbors, they encourage pupils and students to become interested in modern history and their own roots. All activities follow the Post Bellum Code of Conduct.
