I was excited about the Red Cross
Jarmila Černá was born on May 27, 1931 in Žilina, Slovakia. But after the declaration of the Slovak state, she and her family had to move out of Slovakia, because her father was Czech. She continued her schooling in Brno, where she eventually graduated. She has been active in the Red Cross since the age of eighteen, where she has also been employed since the 1960s. In 1968, her brother emigrated to Germany, due to which the family experienced various inconveniences. In 2022, she lived in Prague.
