20 Broadcasting London, September 25, 1942 Czech, 1 8.30 pm. ""... Moravec has taken further steps to "promote" the education of Czech youth. Last year the schools were closed for two months. This year they are closed for seven weeks. It is to be expected that they will be closed at Christmas time. The reasons Moravec claims are once Kolennot, then the school youth has to harvest potatoes again. There is always a reason to close the Czech schools for some time and thus create numerous gaps in the education of Czech youth. Czech universities are now closed for three years. And no sign indicates that they will be reopened, on the contrary, the Germans are now going to close the next schools, one after the other.... A Czech delegation, who turned to Karl Hermann Frank in the school question, received the unusually open-hearted answer: "If the Czechs win the war, they will have as much schools as they want. If we win the War, you won't get any schools at all. From this answer we can see clearly that the future of the Czech youth can only be secured if the Germans lose the war and we win it. Everyone contributes with all his might to the rejection of the opponent. Only our victory can prevent the Czech people from being made slaves. For this victory humanity fights on all fronts of the world. But it is also the struggle on the home front of the greatest importance....."" .
