Relative of a political prisoner | Memory of Nations

Hana Bicencová in 1956
Hana sent the photo to her brother John, who was in prison in 1956, and on the back she wrote: "Jandulka, do you recognize me?" The back side of the photo also contains the name of brother, Jan Liska, and his prison number AO 16 978 and the stamp "AUTHORIZED until 30 October 1956". The prisoners could only have a photo of their beloved ones for a certain period of time. The back of the photo is stored in additional materials.
