An Invitation to the annual exile meeting of the Catholic Catholic Association Opus bonum in Bavarian Franken. Thanks to the tolerance of Opus bonum, representatives of various political beliefs regularly attended the meeting. There was a chance for all those who had a say on the subject, from Christians of all denominations to atheists, from conservative thinkers to modernists, from those who came to exile after 1948 to those who came in different waves after 1968. These meetings grew over time in unique discussion clashes within Czechoslovak exile. In George Orwell's year, the symposium was organized under the title Czechoslovakia 1984 - Life Against Totality. At a conference held on from 1 to 4 November 1984, papers from Czechoslovakia were read, among them the contribution of Václav Havel, Six Notes on Culture.
