The Jewish Museum's Shoah History Department has prepared a new online exhibition: 

"I no longer have to be afraid of my neighbours": the life of Ivana Beranová (Fantlová) and her family.

This exhibition is an example of the museum's long-term efforts at charting the lives of the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia over the course of the 20th century. It comprises excerpts from biographical interviews that Ivana Beranová (née Fantlová) and her mother Marta Fantlová provided to the Jewish Museum in Prague, along with unique photographs and documents from her family archive. The material is contained in the museum's Oral History Collection.
