The Prague radio today stated that Czechoslovakia Jewish leaders have condemned false reports of alleged ill-treatment of Jews in Czechoslovakia as “obviously emanating from Hungarian sources.”
The Czechoslovak Home Minister today told the correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that according to official statistics compiled by the authorities, the number of suicides in Prague from June 1st to the end of September only totalled 216, of whom two were Jews. This denies a previous report that about 7,000 repatriates, largely Jews, had committed suicide since their repatriation.
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.
