With his former prison warden in one prison cell

Dostupné v: English | Česky

Antonín Husník was transferred to the Leopold prison from the Jáchymov forced-labor camp. A motley crew of inmates gathered in this prison during his term. In the prison cell, there was for instance General Janoušek, who had organized the creation of the Czechoslovakian units in the RAF during WWII, or General Syrový, a legionary accused of collaborating with the Nazis after the war. Imprisoned in Leopoldov were also some of the post-war ministers. The inmates in Leopold were gradually joined by some of the police officers and prison wardens who had interrogated the political prisoners in the 1950s. For example, a former warden by the name of Bohata, who had interrogated Antonín Husník. "After these communist scoundrels had hung each other, it was the turn of some of the investigators who had handled the political cases in the 1950s. They said that they had acted against the law, they tried them and they put them in jail. Bohata got seven years - for abusing his authority," he recalled. And so it happened that a former prison warden found himself in the same cell as Husník and other political prisoners whom he had previously patrolled: "Suddenly, Bohata stood in the door. Especially us, the young, we were looking forward to the evening. But General Janoušek decided that we would completely ignore him. It was the General's decision. But we were really mad at it since we were terribly eager to give him a proper thrashing."

Antonín Husník

Antonín Husník

Antonín Husník was born on November 17th, 1921, in Plzeň. In January 1941, he tried unsuccessfully to flee to France in order to join the newly-created Czechoslovakian army corps, but he was caught in Hungary and sent back through Slovakia to the Germans in the Protectorate. For his escape, he was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. Immediately after having served his term, he was arrested by the Gestapo and held in prison for several months. After the war, Antonín Husník started his career as a professional soldier. After February 1948, he was sacked from the special-task force where he served, and in mid-1950's he was arrested. For several months, Husník was interrogated in the so-called "Little House," ("Domeček"), and then sentenced to thirteen years in prison for a fabricated charge of high treason. The first three years he served in the Jáchymov uranium mines, where he – together with Zdeněk Kovařík – managed to establish a unique connection with the outside world beyond the camp with the help of the Balouškovy spouses. Husník was also held in the Kartouzy and the Leopold prisons for several years. He was released prematurely after having served eight years in prison.

Leopoldovská věznice patřila k nejhorším v celém Československu. S politickými vězni zde bylo zacházeno mimořádně krutým způsobem, byla jim odpírána lékařská péče a nutné léky, byla systematicky porušována i jejich nejzákladnější lidská práva. Řada z nich zemřela v důsledku krutého zacházení a odepření nutné léčby.
