English Translation

- 3 - Reich has long watched the things in Bohemia and Hähren and knew exactly what a few Jllusionists are preparing. - Once, - quite suddenly it then struck. Also from the moves of Czech middle school students the Reich has accurate knowledge. The Reichsprotektor has informed me that the patience of the German authorities is now exhausted and that the punitive closing of all Czech middle schools in Bohemia and Moravia is prepared. Now make the seriousness of this hour quite clear to you and think about what the complete loss of our schools means for our people. This success of your "heroes" was probably not considered by Jhr. I have now obtained a probation period and did not work for you by vouching for you. It is now up to you to act accordingly. If, in the future, the least anti-rich activity should be observed in Czech secondary schools, the final closure of all our secondary schools is unchangeable. And now I speak to each and every one of you teachers and students who stand here before me and to all of you in Bohemia and Moravia who cannot be present here today: Not the kingdom asks you to reflect on the events of world history that we are experiencing, and to direct your actions and actions towards a new Eurcpa, as the healthy youth of all the nations of this continent is doing today, but we, the responsible men of the Czech people, are calling on you for the last time and attalmically serious, do not jeopardize the existence of our people! 00000 COPSO
