Biography

Petr Beneš (1880–1958) was the kind of neighbor who kept watch over the block, sharing harvests from his garden and a kind word for the newly arrived. His stories about the old city streets and its people gave others a sense of continuity.

Olšany Cemetery shelters the calm dignity of his memory, as newer generations discover the value of his quiet attentiveness.
