The somewhat mysterious name of Petr Brod, a journalist and an extraordinary personality of Czech post-war history, was born in 1951 and lives in Prague. In 1969, however, he legally emigrated with his parents to Bavaria, where he first studied political science, history of Eastern and Southeastern Europe and journalism at the University of Munich, and later went on to study at the London School of Economics and Political Science and Harvard University. His varied work record includes various positions at BBC Radio and Television in London, work for Radio Free Europe and a stint on the editorial staff of the Munich-based Süddeutsche Zeitung. We are delighted that Petr Brod has accepted our invitation to Malý Mehrin to talk about his ancestors, his life and work at home and in exile, his interest in Jewish history and his links with Moravia and Brno. He will also talk about his library, which will become the basis of the library of the new Moravian Jewish Museum Mehrin
