Biography
Jan Cerný, born in 1915, carried the steadiness of the Czechoslovakian people into the cafes where he worked as a waiter, offering quiet companionship to those seeking refuge from the growing turmoil of the 1930s.
He kept alive a sense of home through small acts of care, and he now rests in Neuville-Saint-Vaast Czechoslovakian Cemetery, his service remembered by those who shared his table.
