Abstract
This chapter discusses the image of the Second World War in Czech non-documentary film since 1989. In this period, films have stopped emphasizing the communist resistance against Nazism on the home front.
Filmmakers have lost interest in the Prague-Uprising of May 1945, or in the Exile Resistance in the Soviet Union. The topic of the Holocaust has appeared as a strong theme since 1989, similarly to how it did in the 1960s.
It has also become possible to return to the topic of the Czechoslovak resistance in exile in the West during the Second World War.
