We would wake up with steam coming out of our mouths November to March
Miloš Krýže was born in Prague on 5 June 1941. His father was imprisoned in Magdeburg during the war, having been abducted from the border town of Varnsdorf where he had worked at the post office. Miloš Krýže‘s mother with his elder brother fled to Prague at the last minute. After the war, the Krýže family moved from Prague to Jablonec nad Nisou where both parents got jobs at the post office. The family was given a villa, but it was ruined and the post-war coal rations were not enough to heat it. Miloš Krýže went to school with German classmates, but they were deported one by one. He completed a grammar school and enrolled in a technical high school. He completed his education at the University of Transport in Žilina. He lived in Prague in 2022.
