Hana Ledrerová was born on May 27, 1942 in Prague. She soon lost her mother and father, who ended up in a psychiatric hospital in Bohnice. She grew up in an orphanage and after high school in the early 1960s worked as a laboratory assistant in the uranium mines near Jáchymov. She got married and after 1969 left with her daughter to join her husband, who was then working legally in West Germany. Due to the political situation, they decided to stay in the West. In 1973 they moved to Paris. Hana Ledererová worked with the Dubins and their Czech Solidarity Fund, which was intended to support emigrants abroad and persecuted opponents of the regime in Czechoslovakia. Later, she worked for the Oldřich Dubina Foundation, for which she raised funds and assistance from prominent emigrants such as Karel Schwarzenberg. In retirement she settled in Paris.
