Anastázie Lahutová, née Míšková, was born on the 30th November 1931 into a farmer’s family that maintained ten hectares of land. Her mother was Anna Míšková (née Krupková) and Jan Míška. She had two younger siblings. During Christmas 1942 she suffered and almost died from a major injury while sledging. She is convinced that she only got better thanks to a religious service by a priest named Šuránek. Her injury left her with lifetime consequences and unlike her siblings and her peers she spent her life in the city. She was distanced from everybody in Blatnice but her kulak heritage followed her everywhere and she was not allowed to study at a university. After graduating from grammar school she studied at a biochemistry high school in Olomouc and became a laboratory technician at a university hospital. Meeting Luboš Lahut is something she considers a second miracle in her life because he never minded her handicap and started seeing her. They got married in 1956 and had daughters Alena and Jitka. They lived in Bojkovice. In 1967 they started building a house in Blatnice pod Svatým Antonínkem and moved there once they retired. Anastázia’s husband has already died and now lives with one of her daughters.
