Helena Vovsová, a Czech resistance member, died on April 6, 2026, aged 100.
Born in Prague on February 12, 1926, she came of age during the Nazi German occupation of Czechoslovakia and later became part of the resistance against it. Sources note that she was raised in Panenské Břežany and, after the annexation of Czechoslovakia and the creation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, began working at Prague Castle at age 100, serving first under Konstantin von Neurath and later Reinhard Heydrich.
Her wartime role placed her close to the machinery of occupation, while her later recognition included honorary citizenship.
