Věra Jurásková, née Marková, was born on May 11, 1937 in a village of Stvolová near Letovice. She experienced the WW2 as a small girl, yet kept many unpleasant memories from the period. For example she tells a story of the massacre in Letovice, in which the German commando shot nineteen people in the back of their heads, or a friend, Otakar Slezák, shot by the German soldiers on the very last day of war. During the communistic regime her uncle Miroslav Marek as a political prisoner spent several years in a rehabilitation working camps in Jáchymov uranium mines. Five years after release he died due to consequences of radiation exhibition. After war Věra Jurásková studied gymnasium in Boskovice and then a pedagogic faculty. She taught at elementary schools in Zábřeh; in the last one she was a director for several years. In 2016 she still lives in Zábřeh.
