I came to Mrs. Wonková and knew right away that something was wrong
Ivana Peričková, née Jará, was born on 29 June 1957 in Jilemnice. Her father was the headmaster of a primary school in Čistá, where he lived with his family. In Trutnov, she trained as a signal handler and then worked at the post office in Vrchlabí. In 1980 she married Dušan Perička, who worked for the Czechoslovak Shipping Company. The couple were friends with the Wonka brothers and helped their mother after their arrest. Through Pavel Wonka, they became acquainted with local and Prague dissidents, including the post-Soviet president Václav Havel. After Pavel Wonka died in prison, the witness organized his funeral, which became a demonstration against the regime of the time. In July 1989, she signed the petition Několik vět (A Few Sentences). In 2018, she and her husband were awarded a certificate of participation in the 3rd Resistance for their activities in pre-revolution Czechoslovakia. After the revolution, she ran a private business and lived in Vrchlabí in 2023.
