Toward the end of World War II, Sláma went to Theresienstadt concentration camp to help people from Třebíč return home.[3] After the communist coup d'état in Czechoslovakia he defected to Switzerland in December 1948 during an ice hockey tournament in Davos, and spent five years as a player and coach there before emigrating to the United States where he became a librarian and library administrator.[4]
After his death in November 2008, his remains were transferred to the Old Cemetery in Třebíč, Czech Republic.
