Large outdoor exhibition turns spotlight on Czech history of 20th century

An extensive outdoor exhibition about 20th century Czech history has been unveiled in Prague marking two decades since the fall of communism. Entitled My jsme to nevzdali (We Never Gave In), it features 150 panels at various locations in the centre of the Czech capital from Prague Castle to Wenceslas Square. Launching the project on Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Jan Fischer said it would help disprove clichés about Czechs having a tendency to give in without a fight. As well as information panels detailing the fates of individuals, the exhibition features a replica of a labour camp guard-tower, across the street from Malostranská metro station, and a freight wagon on Wenceslas Square.
