Becoming a doctor was not easy after the First World War. However, the young generation (the cohort born at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, entering the first year of medical studies at the Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in the autumn of 1920) did not let their ideals be taken away and transformed them into a very specific ethos, the strength of which was later tested by two totalitarian regimes. Together they lived through the twentieth century - as classmates, colleagues, friends, fellow soldiers in the trenches and fellow prisoners. Together, they were also dismissed as an outmoded model of the physician with no place in socialism.
Prosopography - the collective history of this generation of medics and physicians - is presented in a monograph in which the author, with the help of large source files, accompanies her "heroes" to lecture halls and autopsy rooms, hospitals and surgeries, concentration camps, emigration and execution sites.
