the Story of the Glory and Decline of a Prominent First Republic Factory
The Bloch family originally came from Rousínov and moved to Brno in the mid-19th century to establish a leather goods manufacturing company. Their family business and life stories remained tied to Brno until 1939. It was only during World War II and Nazi persecution that they were forced to leave their home and were deported to concentration camps. Historian Michal Doležel from the Brno City Museum will guide you through the former premises of the E. Bloch & Söhne company on Rybářská Street 13, now home to the Faculty of Fine Arts at VUT.
