Four men got out, knocked on the door, and addressed my relatives “Ahoj, jak se máš”, in Czech without an accent. They were the Vrbka brothers, with a cousin, from Nebraska, looking for their roots in the old country. This summer, I got to repay the visit and see the long-lost part of the family for myself. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/prague_0.jpg?timestamp=1697466068 https://english.radio.cz/letter-prague-nebraska-8591446 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
