Muzeum připravilo nové, rozšířené vydání rodinné deskové hry Přes železnou oponu. Hra vychází z původní verze hry „Across the Iron Curtain“ a v češtině vychází ve druhém vydání, které připravily Platforma evropské paměti a svědomí a Muzeum paměti XX. století. Hráči v roli převaděčů pomáhají uprchlíkům z východní Evropy dostat se osmi různými způsoby na Západ. Oproti původní verzi obsahuje brožuru s několika autentickými příběhy úspěšných i neúspěšných pokusů československých občanů o přechod státních hranic. Hra můžete zakoupit buď na našem e-shopu, nebo v prodejní síti společnosti Kosmas. Pro pražské střední školy a vybrané základní školy nabízíme jeden kus hry zdarma, další se slevou.

Game annotation
From the end of the Second World War until 1991, Europe was violently divided into East and West. The East was ruled by totalitarian communist regimes characterised by violations of all basic human rights. In the West, advanced democratic states based on the principles of free political competition, respect for human rights and the rule of law emerged. The communist states erected an 'Iron Curtain' on their external borders with the free world - a heavily guarded barrier stretching from the Barents Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south. Totalitarian states kept their citizens isolated, unfree and oppressed, and prevented people from moving freely. Travel to Western democratic countries was only possible with the approval of the secret police. Some people managed to escape across the Iron Curtain under dramatic circumstances, but many never made it to the free world.
In the educational board game "Across the Iron Curtain", players play the role of smugglers to help refugees from Eastern Europe get to the West in eight different ways. The game is inspired by true stories, through which the player will better understand the reality of life under communism and the reasons why people chose to make the perilous journey.
The game manual contains authentic stories of people from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The game is not only a good tip for intelligent family fun, but also an excellent addition to school history lessons. It is suitable for adults and children from ten years old.
