The Low-Beer Story behind Schindler’s List and Villa Tugendhat in the Czech Republic

The Friends of Czech Heritage present a talk on Zoom by Daniel Low-Beer.

Before the Munich Agreement and the Nazi horrors descended on Czechoslovakia, Jews were central to the cultural and economic life of Brno. The Low-Beers were industrialists, textile producers, diplomats, movers and shakers, who were building the new republic after WW1. Some managed to escape, many perished in concentration camps, but none have come back.

His father was smuggled to Britain as a toddler, and now Dr. Daniel Low-Beer and the City of Brno, proud of the Low-Beer legacy, are working on reconciliation.
