Miluše Wajshajtlová, née Kobrčová, was born on 2 December 1952 in Litoměřice as the older of two sisters. Her maternal grandparents came from Volhynia, from where they were expelled by the Bandera groups during the war. Through Poland they reached the camp in Terezín, where they stayed until the end of the war. After the war they settled in Oparno in a house left by displaced Germans. Her paternal grandfather was an officer in the Czechoslovak People‘s Army (ČSLA) and after the communists came to power he was imprisoned for several years in Mírov for political reasons. He died a few months after his return from prison. Miluše Wajshajtlová attended primary school in Velemín, then graduated from the Secondary General Education School (SVVŠ) in Lovosice. In the summer of 1968, she and her younger sister were at a camp by the sea in East Germany, where they had to stay longer because of the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Soviet troops. Then they had difficulty getting home alone to Velemín from the border crossing at Cínovec. When Jan Palach burned himself to death in January 1969, she and her classmates wore black ribbons to school. After completing secondary school, she completed a two-year medical follow-up study in Teplice, then worked as a rehabilitation nurse at the chateau in Milešov for 27 years. She married in 1977, and she and her husband raised two sons. She lived through the Velvet Revolution in Chotiměř and watched everything remotely on television and radio. In December 1989, she left with her family for a trip to West Germany. After 2000, she worked as a physiotherapist at the hospital in Litoměřice until her retirement. In 2025 she was living with her husband in Chotiměř.
