Summary/Abstract: Father Bohumil Kolář is a member of the generation of clergy whose life stories reflect the fate of the Czech Catholic Church during the Nazi and then communist regime. He experienced many turning points and historical milestones he had not reckoned on, and which had a strong influence on his career of a priest. During his ministry work, he experienced moments when a priest faces undeserved hatred as well as undeserved love. On the occasion of his 90th birthday, he confirmed the veracity of these words, merely adding that there was much, much more love than hatred.
