On Thursday, we kicked off our cultural events series at the T. G. Masaryk Czech School with a lecture by Czech diplomat and author Jaroslav Olša, Jr. on the history of Czechoslovak consulates in the United States between 1920–1950. The event was co-organized with and sponsored by the Czechoslovak Heritage Museum. The house was full — not only with our familiar faces, but also with many new ones. We were especially happy to meet the family of Scott Oliver, who recently purchased a home in Berwyn that was once occupied by Consul Smetánka, the first Czechoslovak consul in Chicago after the founding of independent Czechoslovakia.
In the spirit of the lecture, we were pleased to welcome Mr. Georg Drost, the first Czech Honorary Consul in Chicago after a 50-year pause in diplomatic representation, and Mr. Joe Seliga, who has just become the Honorary Consul for Slovakia. The younger generation was represented by our own Klárka Šebestíková and University of Chicago student Noah Lee, who is writing his BA thesis on Czechoslovak diplomatic relations in the 1920s. We were also delighted to see our longtime friend Carol Smetana, who has just settled in Oak Park so she can be closer to our school community.
The lecture was extremely informative, and the reception afterwards — as always — was full of inspiring conversations and new connections. We are grateful for each and every one of you. Děkujeme za vaši přízeň! 🫶
