Stock Photo - An exhibition marking the 75th anniversary of the Bohemian and Moravian nobility´s wartime declaration of loyalty to the Czech nation, a gesture of opposition to the Nazi occupation of the Czech Lands, opened at Prague Castle today, on Friday, September 5, 2014. The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of about 20 noble families, including Karel Schwarzenberg, head of the conservative party TOP 09 and former Czech foreign minister whose father wrote the declaration. Noble families living in the Czech Lands released two declarations in September 1938 and September 1939. In both they declared that they shared the Czech nation´s tragic fate. They did so in a situation where the Nazis exerted pressure on nobility to declare their adherence to German ethnicity and nationality. The new exhibition in the Mladota House at Prague Castle will turn through October 5. Pictured priest Petr Pitha (left) and Jan Dobrzensky of Dobrenice during mass. (CTK Photo/Katerina Sulova)
