Hana Cihlářová, née Maršátová, was born on 16 February 1934 in Sušice. Her father Josef was a trained electrician and worked at power plants. Her mother Hana worked as a saleswoman in the Elektro shop and in Kovomat. In May 1945 she experienced the liberation of Sušice by the soldiers of the American army and she still remembers their short stay in the town fondly. Hana graduated from the high school in Sušice and became an educator. In 1952 she married Tomáš Cihlář. She and her husband worked in schools in the surrounding villages - in Kadešice, Nezamyslice and Volšov. They were not allowed to work directly in Sušice because the sister-in-law married in the United States. Eventually, they went to work at the open-air school in nearby Nuzerovo. Since 2017, she has lived in a retirement home in Sušice. Hana Cihlářová died in 2020.
