Tom Gross: I delivered Western jeans to Václav Havel pre-1989

Tom Gross campaigned for Roma rights and was active in the media in early 1990s Prague. However, the Englishman had had some remarkable experiences in the city even before joining the influx of young westerners to Czechoslovakia’s new democracy. These included covert deliveries to leading dissidents in the communist period – and inadvertently being in close proximity to some of the world’s most notorious terrorists. Gross shared his stories at our studios in Vinohrady.
