I could talk about myself for ages, or I could point out that https://english.radio.cz/ed-ley-englishman-recording-stories-pragues-streets-one-one-8806941 is over two years old but still largely stands (other than the Twitter links).

Prague 4, day 358: Bartákova


Bartákova was named in 1952.

Miloslav Barták was born in Pisnice (nowadays in Prague 12, south of here) in 1906. He worked as a teacher and lived on Neveklovská, which is coming up in a few days.

On 31 December 1941, Barták was tortured to death at Mauthausen, a concentration camp about 20 kilometres east of Linz, Austria.

About 90,000 people would die at Mauthausen; it was the last concentration camp to liberated by the Allies in May 1945.
