There were 122 thousand Jews living in the area of the contemporary Czech Republic and a further 136 thousand in Slovakia in 1938. After the German holocaust there remained only 20 thousand in the Czech Republic and 25 thousand in Slovakia in 1948. After the Russian tyranny and dictatorship during 1948 - 1990 their figure sank to six thousand. During 1939 - 1989 both these usurpers of power over the Czech nation wanted to rob, exterminate and to wipe this important national minority from our memory. Let this page be dedicated to the remembrance of our fellow-citizens in the hope to refresh loopholes in knowledge of our nations a little.
I do not claim this page to be a scientific publication in history. It is more a simple compilation of fragmentary, sometimes even contradictary, information, which I could collect. At the same time any new information would be appreciated very much.
