This museum is place in former shelter of underground movement in WW2, where Hynek´s family covered underground freedom fighters. Ratiboř is in Beskydy Mountais, where were deep forests and because of it many covered freedom fighters.This part is history is commemorated by many monuments in this region. But..one of this monument is dedicated to victims of fight of two underground freedom fighters group….History is not narrow sometimes.
