Udavai – Pbh Vyho principu Hruka Emil (2026)

In 1942, a tragic event took place in Pbram. Following an denunciation, the director of the grammar school, Dr. Josef Luke, student Antonn Stoes and his father Vojtch Stoes were arrested for petty reasons and executed shortly afterwards. Just after the war, the event became the subject of a story by Jan Drda, who portrayed it in literary form as The Higher Principle. The story later inspired the famous film of the same name, made in 1960. This represents one line in the post-war treatment of the story. The other was the search for the informer or informers. From the mid-1960s, the investigation was conducted by the State Security service. Was the convicted Miroslav ervenka really the only person responsible for the deaths of three people he knew well? Or was he merely a limited and naive young man under the fatal influence of an older fellow student who had joined the Germans during the occupation?
