We learned about the transition between WWII and Nazi occupation to Communist rule. Among lots of other things, we learned about the Czech plot to assassinate a high-ranking Nazi SS officer, the retribution of the Nazis after it, life during Communism, and the Velvet Revolution. We liked how Zach didn’t try to whitewash any of the complicity of the politicians or sanitize the realities of this dark period. As a native English speaker, he was easy to understand, too.
