Czechoslovak Exile

by Chemis

From @chemisgraffiti: “Czechoslovak exile, three characters depicting three waves of forced departures. Before Nazism, after the onset of communist regime and after the Soviet invasion 1968. The moment of decision to escape into the unknown, often splitting families and the consequent complex situation and bonds of people who left with those who stayed. The painting depicts history, but forced migrations for political and war reasons remain a hot topic even today. I highly recommend the Stories 20 podcast. century where you can listen to testimonies from those times."
