Zdeněk Hrabica and Karel Hauser – new acquisitions in the Archives of the National Museum
Two new acquisitions of the National Museum Archives - the written estate of the distinguished journalist and writer Zdeněk Hrabica (1936–2022) and the scientific worker and concentration camp prisoner Karel Hauser (1918–2002). Zdeněk Hrabica was devoted to journalism and writing from his youth. He was also politically active, serving as the first secretary of the Czechoslovak Youth Union from 1966 to 1969. During the years of normalisation, he held the post of editor-in-chief of the magazine Svět v obrazech (World in Pictures) and began writing non-fiction books. His main publications include biographies of generals Karel Klapalek and Ludvík Svoboda, as well as the series Lidé z Reportáže (People from Reportage), which traces the fate of people from the circle of the executed communist journalist Julius Fucik. After November 1989, he continued his editorial work and writing. Along with historical topics, he also worked in the field of gastronomy and sommelier. Karel Hauser, a pre-war student of Brno technical colleges, joined the communist resistance during the occupation, was arrested and after his conviction imprisoned in Wrocław, then in the Auschwitz concentration camp. In January 1945, he was transported by death transport to Buchenwald concentration camp, where he lived to see the end of the war. In the 1950s he became a distinguished scientist in the field of food chemistry and animal feed. He was the recipient of numerous awards for his participation in the resistance as well as for his scientific work. The present study includes detailed biographies of the two main protagonists, the process of acquiring their estates and then the creation of their personal trusts, together with an aspect of their content and scope.
