Dear PWHCE reader in Melbourne Australia, You are cordially invited to a talk to be given by Mrs. Mila Dvorakova on the history of Czechoslovakia under communism from 1948 to 1989. As an activist in the underground Catholic Church and as a collaborator with the dissident movement, Charter 77, Mila can provide a perspective on the challenges that she faced in opposing totalitarianism. These challenges included doing underground work as a courier and as a covert religious teacher. Mrs Dvorakova's talk will be held :-
at The Retreat Hotel
226 Nicholson Street Abbotsford [(Melway ref:- 2C K8) near Johnson Street] How to get to the Retreat Hotel (map) (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) As many guests to the Retreat Hotel talks are people who are interested in and have often contributed to the politics of ideas at great personal cost, Mila's talk offers the opportunity to hear the perspective of a lady who was prepared to fight for what she believed in by defying a dictatorship. As always there will be ample opportunity to ask the speaker questions and to participate in the ensuing discussion. RSVP:- Wednesday the 11th of September, 2002
