A Czech-made film entitled “Nikola Suhaj” has been withdrawn from circulation following a protest that it portrayed a Jewish character in a manner tending to arouse anti-Semitism. The State Committee on Films acted after intervention by Jewish groups and protests by the government’s National Front in Macedonia and in the city of Subotica.
The film, which was made last year, was shown in Bohemia and Moravia, but was never circulated in Slovakia following protests by leading Prague newspapers.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
