English Translation

- 3 - In the same direction lies the observation made several times recently that Czechs again, without any particular restraint, are dealing with Jews and trying to support them in any way. This is probably due, on the one hand, to the fact that many Jews are still employed by Czechs, and on the other hand to the fear of the Czechs that, after Germany has never been able to retaliate, they will be subject to the rest of the population. In turn, the Jews supply food, treat them extremely courteously, and even greet them politely on the street.The evacuations of the Jews call out to the Czechs almost in general the greatest pity; the allegedly taken measures are strongly condemned by them. The Jews themselves show, strengthened by this friendly attitude:the Czechs:in comparison with the Czechs in recent times--the often provocative behavior and publicly declare that they will return soon and then avenge themselves for the treatment they have received. Since the Jews are caught in very good clothes, but have not received any clothes cards for a long time, it is assumed that you will also be put on clothes and shoes without cover. A Jewess from Jitschin, for example, expressed the confidence of the Jews: "If the war lasts only for a very long time then it will certainly run out cheaply for us. We Jews will already survive this time."The dilettantes in the rural communities, which resulted in November/December translation of this activity, were especially prominent in the dilettants and New Year's celebrations. The aim of the event is to promote the development of cultural activities in Europe, in particular through the promotion of the cultural heritage of the European Union.
