Anniversary of the birth of Fr. Suchý has become a traditional celebration in Strašnice. Every year around 21 June it commemorates two stories of the struggle against totalitarianism, first the Nazi and later the communist one. From 1932 František Suchý Sr. was the director of the Strašnice Crematorium. And when during the Protectorate they started to burn the victims of political murders from Pankrác and Kobylis in the crematorium, František Suchý, together with his then 16-year-old son, wrote down the names of the victims and kept their ashes. They thus saved the remains of 2,200 victims of Nazism, which would otherwise have ended up in the compost heap. But one totalitarian regime was replaced by another and the entire Suchy family was imprisoned in the 1950s. On Sunday 19 June 2022, symbolically on Father's Day, we celebrated the birth of František Suchý Sr. (*21 June 1899) in the park that bears his name thanks to the Memory of the Nation and the Prague 10 City Hall.
