Summary/Abstract: On June 25, 2024, the Divadelní sál in Hořice hosted a gathering to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Hana Truncová's birth. Known for her indomitable spirit, Truncová was a political prisoner who faced the brutalities of both Nazi and communist regimes. Her resilience and integrity inspired many, as she actively participated in the anti-communist resistance, aiding in border crossings and distributing illegal literature.

Her legacy includes significant contributions to the Konfederace politických vězňů and recognition as a participant in the anti-communist resistance.
