HELGA HOŠKOVÁ-WEISSOVÁ: NOBODY EXPECTED US

On Tuesday, November 8, 2022, the Maisel Synagogue hosted a gala presentation of the autobiography of Helga Hošková-Weissová, a Czech artist and Holocaust survivor, who will celebrate her 93rd birthday on November 10. For her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all those who want to listen, she tells her extraordinary life story. Excerpts from her book Helga Hošková-Weissová: Nobody Expected Us were read by Tomáš Töpfer, accompanied by the author's son Jiří Hošek, her granddaughter, the cellist Dominika Weiss Hošková, and her great-grandchildren.
