Description

Peter was born in 1921. During the German occupation, Czech universities were closed and he had to work 12-hour long shifts in a factory. In his memoir he devotes more time to his skirmishes with the Communist Party before it seized total power by a putsch in February 1948. With help from several of his Professors at Charles University he launched a Children's Week of Joy devoted to their needs; in order to bring the two nations closer together, he created a society of Czech and Slovak students and initiated vacation exchanges of children between families of both nations; and he established a Youth Club, affiliated with the association of the country's top cultural elite. A cultural-political journal he was preparing with the cooperation of 100 young intellectuals could not appear due to the Coup. In order to facilitate the escape of endangered anti-communists, he then organized a peat brigade on the border with Austria. He himself managed to leave his country legally, and in Geneva founded and led an important journal, Skutecnost (Reality) that promoted a new European and democratic program for his exiled compatriots. He obtained a Ph.D. in International Studies at the University of Geneva. His dissertation was published by the University of Geneva and, shortened by 1/3, by Oxford's Pergamon Press. Two books in English and three in Czech followed.
