Institute of National Memory Brno is a place where history comes alive through authentic stories of witnesses to key events in Czechoslovak and Czech 20th-century history.  Our mission is to preserve the testimonies of those who experienced totalitarian regimes and pass them on to future generations so they are never forgotten.

We focus primarily on collecting and archiving personal memories and historical materials that reveal how totalitarian regimes affected the lives of ordinary people. These stories are an essential source for understanding.
