In this time arose Fu膷铆k's Notes from the Gallows (Czech: Report谩啪 psan谩 na opr谩tce, literally Reports Written Under the Noose), which was written on pieces of cigarette paper and smuggled out by sympathetic prison wardens named Kol铆nsk媒 and Hora. The book describes events in the prison since Fu膷铆k's arrest and is filled with hope for a better, Communist future. The book was published in a more "acceptable" version, from which the less pleasant passages, which did not quite fit into everyone's picture of heroic resistance fighters, had been stricken. After his death those letters were treated as great literary works itself. The notes translated in many languages all over the world.

In May 1943 Fu膷铆k was brought to Germany. He was first detained in Bautzen for somewhat more than two months, and afterwards in Berlin. On 25 August 1943 in Berlin, he was accused of high treason in connection with his political activities by the Volksgerichtshof, which was presided over by the notorious Roland Freisler. Fu膷铆k was found guilty and was sentenced to death along with Jaroslav Klecan, who had been arrested with Fu膷铆k. Fu膷铆k was hanged two weeks later on 8 September 1943 in Pl枚tzensee Prison in Berlin (not beheaded as is often stated).

After the war, his wife, Gusta Fu膷铆kov谩, who had also been in a Nazi concentration camp, researched and retrieved all of his prison writings. She edited them with help of CPC and published them as Notes from the Gallows in 1947. The book was successful, and its influence increased after the Stalinist takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1948. It has been translated into at least 90 languages. He also left an unfinished autobiographical novel named Pokolen铆 p艡ed Petrem.

He was the nephew and namesake of the composer Julius Arnost Vilem Fucik. ...more

“Quisiera que todo el mundo supiese que no ha habido h茅roes an贸nimos. Eran personas con su nombre, su rostro, sus anhelos y sus esperanzas, y el dolor del 煤ltimo de los 煤ltimos no ha sido menor que el del primero, cuyo nombre perdura. Yo quisiera que todos ellos estuviesen cerca de vosotros, como miembros de vuestra familia, como vosotros mismos.”
