1850-1937
A radio portrait by Christopher Holme
The Czechoslovak State was established on October 28, 1918. Twenty-one years later it was broken up and submerged by the Nazi terror. Reconstituted in 1945, Czechoslovakia now, on its fiftieth anniversary, is struggling to maintain itself against another invasion of those whom the Czechs and Slovaks wanted as friends.
This portrait of Czechoslovakia's founder and symbol of its resistance is compiled from the writings and voices of T. G. MASARYK and those who knew him.
