Become part of the book Vzpomínkomat
~ challenge ~
A new book filled with memories is coming. Do you want yours in it? Help the author Zuzana Kučerová - your reward will be a thank you in the book and your memories printed in the book Vzpomínkomat.
The book, which is a loose follow-up to the successful first volume, will be published before Christmas and you can send your memories from the socialist era, photos, stories or magazine clippings to zzzkucerova@seznam.cz
We are looking for these memories
CHRISTMAS
Send photos from Christmas! Bowls of candy, carp on the streets, and especially snapshots of the tree. Send in your Christmas cards that you've been saving for years. Do you have a cool story? You'll get it! A tree on fire, how not to tell Santa, a newborn baby under the tree? Whatever.
FASHION
Send in your photos where you can see full figures. We're interested in what was worn. Group photos of young people will be great, but other photos will be great too. Send stories of your first pair of jeans - where you bought them, how you saved for them, what you experienced in them, where you first wore them.
LIVING
Send photos of the interiors of what your home was like in the 1970s and 1980s.
ALLOWED
Send photos from vacations and pioneer camps. What your trunks, vacation spot, tents, crowded cars looked like. Write us your memories of the sea, or camping... What was your most memorable/favorite vacation? Do you have a legendary story from a pioneer camp?
CULTURE
What were your favourite radio plays? Did you listen to the radio together?
ADVERTISING
Do you have advertising flyers, magazines or movie posters hidden in your home? Send them to us!
WAR
Guys, send in your best war stories - how did you escape through a hole in the fence, what Canadian pranks did you experience? Women, what was it like when your boy went off to war? How did you date, did your relationship survive?
FILM
What was a pivotal cinema visit for you? Any dates? Where was it, in what city? What were they showing? How much did the ticket cost? How festive was going to the movies compared to today?
SPORTS
Do you have a story with a famous athlete from the socialist era? Tell us which athletes were the biggest heroes for you and why? How did you experience football in Chile and hockey games against the USSR? Send photos of boys' soccer and hockey games, and hockey gear you had at home.
HRDOST
Send us photos if you have/have had any examples of the so-called Brussels style at home.
