Continued terrorism was reported today in former Czechoslovakia. Nazis set fire to and destroyed the Cafe Opera in Maerisch-Ostrau, one of the two remaining cafes where Jews were allowed entry. In Prague, special police guards were posted before Jewish quarters to prevent anti-Jewish excesses when Fascist demonstrators tried to organize anti-Semitic disorders.

The Municipality of Pardubitz has decided to convert a Jewish cemetery founded in 1642 into a park.
