Embassy of Sweden in Czechia

i️ It was not so long ago that Europe was divided by an iron curtain. Thousands of people in occupied Czechoslovakia dreamed of how to overcome it and start a new life in a free world. However, a handful of dissidents tried to live freely at home, despite the ruling regime. From behind the western border, they received support – moral, material and financial. It was driven and organized by people who, surprisingly, often came from Scandinavia. Why would they do that? What did they risk it? And how did they contribute to the fall of the dictatorship in 1989? The exhibition Help from the North will introduce you to the stories of individuals and organizations from the Nordic countries, as well as the fate of Czech monuments, recipients of help from Charter 77.
Exhibition in front of the Rudolfin building will be visible every day until 22. October 2023.

Don’t miss the exhibition, stories of good deeds, solidarity and mutual help need to be reminded constantly.
