Persecutions to which Lažnoufky 24a was beaten Prague, 14th of October. The "Čefké Slvbo" publishes a letter from his former editor-in-chief Karl Lažnabstý, which he addressed to a high-ranking public figure on February 7, 1941, and which has been given to the paper by the addressee. The letter reads: "Your well-born! Sochschäßter Serr! In the last three months, the campaign against the political publicists and writers has intensified considerably again. We are flooded with anonymity of a kind that really hurts one's heart with the thought of what Czechs can write to a writer who only writes and works according to his most sacred national conscience. This campaign has already gone so far that the women of these schrifizers, their parents and others, receive the same reproach letters. Whole families are boycotted, their relatives insulted in shops and on the street, ridiculed by lying anecdotes and slandered in the grossest way. My father, an old miner who lives in the countryside, is scon almost at the end of his nerve power. However, one must have respect for the political writer, even if another may not agree with him. Significant writers almost always cultivate their moral and intellectual greatness only after years, often too late to be recognized and then celebrated as national heroes. I find this acknowledgment by the broad masses of the Bolks as very urgent, because the grotesque Qnals of the Schrifistlers are aboss, and the constant surging and unrubbing of their families have a heavy effect on their lives and their performance guidance. For the devoted Karl Laznobsty." The "Čeké Slovo" makes a comment on this personal document, in which it is among other things. "It is said of our Bolt that it is ripe, cultivated and progressive. Today's private letter Cheiredakteur Lažnovskýs does not believe that this is absoute truth. Lažnowský's suffering. As long as he lived, our people are a lesson and many individuals are an occasion for thorough research of conscience."
