On Tuesday, 4 November, it was 20 years since the death of Comenius University student Daniel Tupý, who was killed in Bratislava in an attack by a group of people described by eyewitnesses as neo-Nazis.

The guitar has now become the central motif of a new statue commissioned by Comenius University, unveiled during a commemorative event on 4 November 2025. Discussing the inspiration behind this artwork are its designer, Milan Stanco, Daniel’s father, Daniel Tupý Sr., and a university lecturer in music history. In remembrance of the innocent victim, Martina Greňová Šimkovičová also revisits her 2019 interview with Teodor Kuhn, director of the film By a Sharp Knife, which was inspired by the murder case.
