Biography
Jaroslav Hiller, born in 1903, was shaped by the vibrant cultural life of Bohemia and carried that heritage even as bleak forces rose around him.
Confined in Terezín, he stood with others who nurtured art, learning, and compassion; his grave at the National Cemetery now marks the solemn price paid by those who resisted despair.
