Czech song - Czech hymn!
Where is my home?
Where is my home?
Where is my home? Its a piece of music written by the composer František Škroup and the playwright Josef Kajetán Tyl.
The piece was written as a part of the incidental music to the comedy Fidlovačka aneb Žádný hněv a žádná rvačka (Fidlovačka, or No Anger and No Brawl). It was performed for the first time by Karel Strakatý in the Stavovské divadlo (Estates Theatre) in Prague on December 21, 1834. The original song consists of two strophes (see below). Although J. K. Tyl is said to have considered leaving the song out of the play, not convinced of its quality, it soon became very popular among Czechs and was accepted as an informal anthem of a nation willing to revive its identity within the Habsburg Empire.
Soon after Czechoslovakia was formed in 1918, the first strophe of the song became the Czech part of the national anthem, followed by the first strophe of the Slovak song Nad Tatrou sa blýska. Because of language diversity of First republic official translations to Hungarian and German language were made.
The split of Czechoslovakia in 1992 divided also the Czechoslovak anthem. While Slovaks have extended their anthem adding a second strophe, the Czech Republic´s national anthem has been legally adopted unextended, in its single-strophe version.
A small motif used by Škroup was written previously by W. A. Mozart in Concertanto Symphony KV 297 b.
Original lyrics from Fidlovačka, 1834
Where is my home? Where is my home?
Waters murmur across the meads
Pinewoods rustle 'pon the cliff-rocks,
Bloom of spring shines in the orchard,
Paradise on Earth to see!
And that is the beautiful land,
The Czech land, my home!
The Czech land, my home!
Where is my home? Where is my home?
If, in the heavenly land, you have met
Tender souls in agile frames,
Of clear mind, vigorous and prospering,
And with a strength that frustrates all defiance,
That is the glorious race of Czechs,
Among the Czechs (is) my home!
Among the Czechs, my home!

Czech war monument - Lidice
People, stop and listen to the
message of children killed by war!
Hurry up to tell all that everything
is dependant on a spider's thread!
I know it! But I cannot do anything
else but these statues of children - to the best of my skills ....
(From the poem "Whist there is still an open door in the world"
of the academic sculptor Marie Uchytilova 1987)
of the academic sculptor Marie Uchytilova 1987)
It is built on the site of a previous village of the same name which, as part of the Nazi created Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, was, as per orders directly from Heinrich Himmler, completely destroyed by German forces in reprisal for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in the late spring of 1942. On June 10, 1942, all 192 men over 16 years of age from the village were murdered on the spot by the Germans in a much publicised atrocity. The rest of the population were sent to Nazi concentration camps where many women and nearly all the children were killed. All men of the village were rounded up and taken to the farmstead of the Horák family on the edge of the village. Shooting of the men commenced at about 7 a.m. At first the men were shot in groups of five. The dead were left lying where they fell . There were 173 dead bodies lying in the Horák farm orchard.
All the women and children of the village were taken first to Lidice village school. They were then taken to the nearby town of Kladno where they were detained in the grammar school for three days. The children were then forcibly separated from their mothers. Four women were pregnant and were sent to the same hospital where Heydrich died. They were given forced abortions and then sent to different concentration camps.
Eighty-eight Lidice children were transported to the area of the former textile factory in Gneisenaustreet of Łódź. The children were not fed sufficiently and a few babies cared for by the older girls were constantly crying with hunger. The children slept on plain floors and covered themselves with coats if they had any brought from home. They suffered from a lack of hygiene and from illnesses.
The village of Lidice was set on fire and the remains of the buildings were bulldozed, every last remaining piece of evidence being destroyed. Even those buried in the town cemetery were not spared. Their remains were dug up and destroyed.
Altogether, about 340 people from Lidice died because of the German reprisal (192 men, 60 women and 88 children).
The death toll resulting from the effort to avenge the death of Heydrich is estimated at 1,300. This count includes relatives of the partisans, their supporters, Czech elites suspected of disloyalty and random victims like those from Lidice. A small Czech village called Ležáky was also destroyed two weeks after Lidice. Here both men and women were shot, and children were sent to concentration camps or 'Aryanised'.
Czech national industries - Brewing
HISTORY OF THE BREWING
vThe brewing has on the czech territory the long tradition. It was developing from the primitive preparation in home-made to the workmanlike production and then to industrial production in the mechanical breweries and then up to the contemporary modern mass production.
vIn 4. century BC „Bojove“ were on the territory of the Czech republic, who grew the corn and then maybe they made from the corn something, which was similar as today‘s beer.
vThe first unconfirmed comment about the brewing in our country was found out already in 999.
vThe first extant testament about production of beer in our country was got out by Vratislav II. in 1088. It was the deed of a foundation, which Vratislav II. assigned to the canonry on Vyšehrad the tithing of brewing.
vIn 12./13. century the new royal and aristocratic towns were founded and they gained the brewing privilege.
vThe oldest brew-house was built in Teplé in 1200. And other older brew-houses: Hodonín (in 1228), Olomouc (in 1250), Německý Brod (in 1333), Vodňany (in 1336) etc…
vIn 14. century the first comment about export of czech beer.
