The Jewish State Museum in Prague has organized an exhibition of documents of the Nazi persecution of the Jews in occupied Czechoslovakia. On display are documents and pictures on the deportation of the Czech Jews. Included are some 200 photographs taken by the SS during the deportations. Pictures taken at the Terezin Ghetto were reported to make a particularly shocking impact.
The Czech television network today marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Morris Rosenfeld, late Yiddish poet who was born in Russia and died in New York. His works were translated into Czech by the non-Jewish author, Jaroslav Vrchlicky. A special program was broadcast dealing with Rosenfeld’s life and work.
