    The Capuchin monastery
    in Prague is situat
    ed at the Prague castle
    in the northern end of the Loreta square
    next to the Prague Loreto
    in the district of Prague 1. Part of the local monastery complex is
    the Church of Our Lady of Angels
    .
    During the Second World War
    ,
    during
    the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
    , the SS established a prison here the Capuchin monks returned again only to be forcibly evicted in
    the early 50s
    . After that the monastery housed the Czechoslovak counter-espionage. The monastery has served its original purpose again since the beginning of
    the 90s of 20th century
    .
    This memorabilia as I guess was a gift from former prisoner of concentration camp (Auschwitz or maybe rather Terezin in Czech Republic ?) Pater (in latin means father) Aureli from Capuchin Monastery in Loreta Prague to another former prisoner/prisoners (polish I guess) in polish language dated 29-V-1945 Prague.
