Czech Holocaust hero Antonín Kalina remembered in home town

On the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Czechs are
marking the memory of Antonín Kalina, a Czechoslovak Communist who risked
his own life to save at least 900, mostly Jewish children from the
Holocaust. A documentary about the unsung hero of the Holocaust was
premiered on Czech Television this week while his hometown of Třebíč
announced plans to open a memorial hall dedicated to their famous son.
