Life

Lucky’s part in World war II resistance and in the Slovak Uprising of 1944 got him sent to concentration camps at Bucharest, Auschwitz and Buchenwald. After the War he re-enrolled at the Prague Conservatory, to study with Ridky and Alois Haba, and graduated in 1947. He became a forward-thinking composer of pragmatic modernistic manner, not identifiable with any school or technique. He also became a leading Czech film composer.
