???? WATCH THE NEW SERIES OF SECRET STORIES OF CZECH HISTORY FROM FEBRUARY ON PRIMA ZOOM ???? The theme of the piece is the history of Lusatia in today's eastern Germany and the Lusatian Serbs, the westernmost and smallest Slavic nation. Despite the fact that the Lusatian regions belonged to Charles IV. until the Thirty Years' War with the lands of the Czech Crown, and the language of Lusatian Serbs is very close to Czech, the Lusatian question is almost unknown here. The documentary therefore tries to bring the culture and historical story of Lusatia closer to the audience. The guests, Czech and Lusatian experts, recall the beginnings of Slavic settlement and the bloody genocide of the Slavs by early medieval German princes. Then they describe the years of the rule of the Czech kings, the annexation of the Lusatian territories to Saxony in 1635 and the struggle of the Lusatian Serbs to maintain their Slavic identity. They mention the role of the Lusatian Seminary in Prague, which was a refuge for Lusatian students of the University of Prague and a meeting place for Czech and Lusatian Serbian revivalists, and they also recall the curious attempts to join Lusatia to the Czechoslovak Republic in 1919 and 1945. The message of the document is a reminder that we are connected to Lusatian Serbs an ancient kinship that we should not be indifferent to even today. Because no culture is so strong that in the end only a mention in the history books can remain of it.
