“Having encountered many setbacks, Havel lived with a spirit of hope”
Barack Obama (1961) 44th President of the United States of America

He played a seminal role in the Velvet Revolution that won his people their freedom and inspired generations to reach for self-determination and dignity in all parts of the world.
