Jiri Munk with a photograph of his grandfather

For this photograph I put on round glasses, which I never wear, to highlight how alike my grandfather and I look. The only difference is that my grandfather looked very strict, as you can see, while I'm often smiling. We're trying to preserve our family's legacy through photographs, and also the handing down of our reminiscences to further generations. The only continuator of our family lineage is my niece Helenka, my sister's daughter, who is very interested in our family's history, and investigates it in detail, which we greatly appreciate.
