Czech Political Prisoners: Recovering Face is the story of men and
women who survived Czechoslovakian concentration camps under the
Communist regime. Men and women disappeared, were arrested,
imprisoned, interrogated, tortured, put on trial, convicted, and
sentenced to forced labor camps. In 1948 in Czechoslovakia,
political others became political prisoners. New forms of political
practices developed under the institution of the totalitarian
Czechoslovakian communist state. This new regime of totalitarian
political power produced culturally specific forms of organized
political violence. Between 1948 and 1989 some citizens recognized
by the state as political others were subjected to such ritualized
political violence. The link between ritualized violence and state
subjects' political passage laid the groundwork for the formation
of new social identities. In the post-totalitarian state, the
political other from the socialist era remains other through
distinct desires and acts of coming to terms with the experience of
organized violence. Like other members of the Czech and Slovak
states, former prisoners are now facing the post-totalitarian
remaking of life. In contrast to society at large, the political
prisoners' recovery from the totalitarian past has proven that the
ethics of political life-individual and communal coming to terms
with the past-is closely related and crucial to their efforts
toward reconciliation. Today, in the Czech Republic, as well as in
other post-socialist countries, the desire to reconcile is not
limited to survivors of camps, prisoners, and dissidents. People
from the youngest generation are asking questions about crimes,
punishment, and forgiveness related to the Communist regime in
central and eastern Europe. The purpose of this story is to expose
individual and communal experience, subjectivity, and consciousness
hidden in the ruins of memory of Socialism in Czechoslovakia.
