Rejoice in the life
Dagmar Linhartová, née Hradecká, was born on 4. October, 1931 in Prague. Her father worked as an accountant in a family firm producing sweets; her mother an apprenticed dressmaker in a household. She spent her childhood in Jezerka providing many opportunities for playing. She attended Kühn children choir, learnt to play piano and exercised in Sokol. Dagmar Linhartová used to meet her grandparents in Sudeten, but they had to move out after the borderland was taken. Due to a doctor, her acquaintance, she could claim a larger ratio of food during to war. Her neighbours, husbands Mandíks, were hiding a resistance fighter and provided their house to Defence of the Nation´s meetings; from there František Peltán and Václav Morávek were broadcasting in June 1941. During an intervention of the gestapo, which the witness experienced, the husbands Mandík were arrested and František Mandík executed later that year. Dagmar Linhartová had troubles at the secondary school due to bad report, as her mother was a member of the National Social Party and everyone in the family was a member of Sokol. Through the intercession of her classmate, who was a communist, they let her graduate at last. She was placed in Chrastava as a teacher and didn´t get a flat so lived in a pub and later stayed in a school cabiner in Liberec. She could return to Prague ten years later and gave classes for another five years in Prague. Then she studied defectology and worked with people with sight handicap. She has been living in a house, where she was born until today, and visits places where she spent her childhood. She is a keen tourist and until 2005 she trained children in Sokol.Dagmar Linhartová, née Hradecká, was born on 4. October, 1931 in Prague.
