Charlotta Kotik: the independent great-granddaughter of the first Czechoslovak president TGM

Czechs have only one president instantly recognizable by his initials: TGM
for Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. He was an icon of the newly-independent
Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1935. Venerated by most, denigrated only by
some, he has always remained a powerful symbol of the Czech democratic
state. I recently met with Charlotta Kotik, the great-granddaughter of the
first Czechoslovak president, to talk about her family heritage.
