Liberation of Southwest Bohemia by the U.S. Army, May 1945 - Told in Photographs

This exhibition presents rare archival photographs capturing the U.S. Army’s liberation of Southwest Bohemia in May 1945. As one of the last regions in Europe to be freed from Nazi control, this area witnessed both joyful reunions and tragic remnants of war. Through the lens of American soldiers and Czech civilians, these images reveal moments of celebration.

On View at the Czech Center Museum Houston, May 19 – September 30, 2025
In cooperation with the Prácheň Museum in Písek

Songs of Love and Longing

Witness amazing young talent reaching new heights of artistry. Duo of DACAMERA Young Artists —violinist Yu-Ming Ma and pianist Isaac Foreman— will present works by Czech composers in memory of the Lidice massacre. Jonathan Mak joins for Dvořák’s Sonatina in G Major.

The Nazi destruction of Lidice in 1942 —announced in grim headlines around the world—sparked a powerful global response from artists, writers, filmmakers, and workers. Though Lidice could have been lost amid the many atrocities of World War II, it instead became a lasting symbol of resistance.
