English Translation

The Germans do not want to understand that the people will be struck when one of their greatest ones, such as Stefanik, is hit. Do they really believe that even a Czech will find himself who will not see it as a persecution, a persecution of his fatherland feeling, if one wants to reduce his memory of Masaryk? The blood is indignant, the fists close, one wants to scream, but reason says: keep silent, let yourselves be noticed only by the naughty ones.The Germans are unlucky, the Czechs want to be afraid.
