Český svaz protifašistických bojovníků – ústřední výbor, Praha 

After the Second World War, several resistance organizations emerged in the Czech lands. The Czechoslovak Legionary Union, an organization of participants in World War I, founded in 1921, was the first to be restored. Resistance fighters returning from concentration camps, prisons and penitentiaries, from the Eastern and Western fronts or from emigration, were organized in the Union of Liberated Political Prisoners and the Association of Czechoslovak Foreign Soldiers of the Second Resistance. Those involved in the domestic resistance were concentrated in the Union of the National Revolution. In 1948, the individual organizations in the Czech lands merged into the Union of Freedom Fighters, and in 1951 a national organization of resistance fighters was established - the Union of Anti-Fascist Fighters. The mission of the organization was, among other things, to develop the traditions of the struggle against fascism, to spread the historical truth about this struggle, to expose the contemporary forms of fascism, to take care of the memorial sites, to publish and distribute anti-fascist literature, etc.
