Reading and discussion in Czech language.
We invite you to a reading of the book "If I Must Die, Let It Be a Story – Palestine in Czech Perspectives" published by Utopia Libri. This book, which won the award for Best Documentary Book last year, opens important conversations about Palestine, despite not being widely popularized.
Just like the book itself, this event aims to connect, create space for sharing, and provide a safe space in challenging times. You can look forward to discussions, readings of excerpts, and encounters with the authors.
The reading will be presented by Yara Abu Aataya and Yasar Abu Ghosh, who bring the Palestinian perspective, and Markéta Hrbková, who shares her Jewish experience. Come and listen to their stories and engage in an open debate.
Free entry.
