The Documentation Center Administrative Board unanimously appointed Jana Jirásková as the new director of the organisation at their June meeting. Jirásková, the long-time deputy director of the Center, replaced Helena Krejčová, who was in charge of the organisation until the end of 2022.
Jana Jirásková distinguished herself not only in the field of scholarly research but her well-founded knowledge of the Center’s activities and history, as well as extensive contacts in the field, are invaluable assets to the future of the Centre. Throughout Jirásková´s deputy directorship, her input was instrumental in the successful realisation of the property restitution claims of Holocaust victims, as well as in the clear progress of many academic activities of the Center.
