Czech Reality TV Show Makes a Game of Life Under Nazi Rule

We have seen toddlers in tiaras, been left “Naked and Afraid,” and met more real housewives than a postman.

But if you thought reality television had reached the boundaries of imagination and good taste, a show that went on the air in the Czech Republiclast week has opened up a whole new frontier.

In “Holiday in the Protectorate,” an eight-part series from Czech public television, three generations of a real-life family are sent “back in time” to a remote mountain farm in 1939, when German invaders transformed the country into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
