Olga Kroupová was born in 1935 in Moutnice. Her daddy held the post of mayor. When a sign saying “Hitler is an asshole” appeared in the village, they arrested him first. He was imprisoned in Cejl for a month and a half. When the Soviet army arrived, she and her family hid in a home bunker, opposite which stood a German sniper. At the time of filming (2024) she lived in Ledčí nad Sázavou.
