“Interesting is the fate of the resistance worker Jiří Kohn (b. 1896), who was already a member of the so-called Šalda Committee (Auxiliary Committee for Refugees) before the war, and has been illegal since March 1942. He resorted to illegality after the Gestapo ordered him to draw up a list of all those involved in helping the emigrants. Jiří Kohn was arrested after the Gestapo infiltrated the resistance structure at the Avia Letňany aviation company in March 1944. The same month Kohn, who was a liaison between the resistance fighters in Letňany and the resistance fighters working in the Central Social Insurance Company and provided, for example, empty work books for further use, died in Pankrác prison in Prague as a result of the first gestapo interrogation. He was awarded the Golden Star of the Medal of Freedom in memoriam after the war.” 49)
