Ludmila Šádková, née Počtová, was born on 20 September, 1945. Her grandad founded a wine bar in Letná, who then took over her father, Jiří Počta. In 1948 the wine bar was confiscated and in 1953 the family was moved out from its flat. They moved to the larger family, who owned an estate in Troja. The father was arrested and tried as the class enemy for 3,5 years served in prison in Opava. He returned in a poor health state and after a couple of days he died in the hospital. The witness worked as a shop assistance most of her life; usually in the electric appliance shops. The Troja estate was destroyed in 1977 during the tramline construction. Following 1989 the family got the wine bar back in restitutions and Ludmila Šádková served there for several years. She has two children and four grandchildren.
