Anna Hůrková, née Hojerová, was born on 23 February 1936 in the then Německý Brod (today Havlíčkův Brod). She grew up on the farm of her father Bedrich Hojer, who was the largest farmer in Radňov. She attended a municipal school in Květinov and later a middle-class in Lípa. Following 1948, local communists began to repress and bully their families. Her father was first tried in 1950 for failing to comply with the prescribed sowing area, but then acquitted because he met the delivery obligations. In the coming year, a search was carried out, during which grain bags and other basic food for the family were discovered, which the Communists declared excessive, and Bedřich Hojer was sentenced to four months in prison and a fine of 10000 crowns by the district court in Humpolec. After serving his sentence, the delivery duty ratio was increased and on December 12, 1952 he was sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment and other related sentences. On 27 February 1953, the Hojer family was moved to a state farm in Dolní Požáry near Týnec nad Sázavou, where the family worked. Soon after that Anna Hůrková got married. In 2020 she lived in the adjacent village of Krhanice.
