Did you know that my father changed the lyrics of the song to make fun of the Nazis - and they didn't appreciate it, so that led to his arrest by the Gestap, and finally, his death as an ice statue at the Mauthausen concentration camp.
Hearing this song always restores my spirits...I'm now in talks to make an international movie to tell people around the world about the power of songs to fight oppression...
Thasler : Music of your father will never dissapear . I have played it now on piano . It is very strongly kept in memory of many Czech people. And not only me, but for all the Czech your father is not just composer of wonderful songs , he is hero.
In this video my father sings his most famous song - it became the unofficial national anthem when the Nazis banned the national anthem and continues to be the favorite song of Czech-Americans.

Takové vlastenectví už v krvi nemáme...a je to škoda, že nejsme hrdí na to, že jsme Češi. Tahle písnička chytá za srdce i po letech.

Ale máme. Stačí se podívat třebas na Baráčníky. Jenomže bohužel nejsme příliš známí...

Tom, this is a moving capture on film not only of the song, but his performance. Thank you so much for sharing.
