ONDREJ KRAJNAK is a documentary filmmaker. He received his PhD in journalism from the John Paul II Catholic University in Lublin. Since 2004, he is the head of the History Department at National Memory Institute (Ustav Pameti národa) in Bratislava where he has created an audio-visual archive. During the communist era, Dr. Krajnak participated in the underground church movement.

The evening included a screening of a Slovak documentary film “Ako som mal zaciat tretiu svetovu vojnu” (Accused of Planning WW III) by Juraj Brocko. Based on  a true story of a political prisoner Karol Noskovic, one of thousands innocent victims of red terror in the 1950s, the film offers a dramatic testimony of paranoid communist system and portraits an example of brutal, neo-Stalinist persecution in Slovakia.
Dr. Krajnak also awarded a special merit medal to our board member Gabriel Levickyfor his participation in the political dissent movement during the Communism in Slovakia.
