	Central Europe Review - Mein Kampf: To ban or not?
		Czech politicians and commentators are uncomfortable with the concept of free movement of ideas, especially if these ideas are thought to be detrimental to democracy.
		Czech politicians and commentators do not seem to understand that in a democracy, people are not required to praise democracy and that anti-democratic ideas cannot be banned.
		Czech politicians and the Czech police would do much better if instead of looking for the publishers of anti-Semitic and racist rags they consistently protected members of religious and ethnic minorities from personal assault by skinheads.

	The Plight of Czech Gypsies in the Holocaust and Today
		No newspaper in the Czech Republic had until then informed their readers that during WW II the Czechs had operated a death camp where thousands of Romany were murdered.

		Czech newspapers often report the embezzlement of millions of dollars by Czech politicians and their business associates (all of whom are white people) but only Gypsies stealing food or bicycles are added to the crime statistics.

		As I recall, part of the terms of the "Velvet Divorce" between the Czech and Slovak portions of the old CSFR was that neither successor state would use the national symbols of the federation.

	Jews in Biomedical Science
		As the Spanish philosopher and theologian Ramon Lull (Raymond Lully) complained in the thirteenth century: "Jews are universally entrusted by the great with the care of their health.
		Jews also figured prominently as translators and transmitters to the Moslem world of the medical scholarship of the ancient Greeks, and would later play a similar role in transmitting to Europe the scholarship of Moslem physicians such as Avicenna.
		Many fled to America, helping to fuel its meteoric rise to preeminence in biomedical research; Jews have accounted for more than 40% of US Nobel Prizes in medicine and constitute over one-third of the combined membership of the life sciences divisions of the US National Academy of Sciences and its affiliated Institute of Medicine.

	H-Net Multimedia Reviews: Tatjana Lichtenstein on Germans-Jews-Czechs: The Case of the Czech Lands, 1880-1938
		In her paper, "Czechs, Germans, Jews--Where is the difference?", Katerina Capková (Charles University in Prague) compared the national identities of Jewish nationalists and Czech-oriented Jews in the interwar period.
		While the similarities were shaped by the historical experience of Jews in the Czech Lands, the different conclusions Hostovsky and Fischl drew from it, Capková argued, was a matter of personal conviction and depended to some degree on the different social circles to which they belonged.
		Prague Jews of the generation born in the 1880's, Spector claimed, occupied a position of mediation between Czech and German culture.

		He meticulously tracks and details the growth of Czech nationalism through literature, theater, art, architecture, language, and music to provide a thorough story of how the Czechs shed the oppression of the German and Austrian reigns over their land to become a distinct people.
		Czech communists soon took their ideology of 'people's democracy' to such radical extremes that they stamped out all forms of dissent in their quest to create uniform Czech society.
		The Czechs have long been at the center of political, cultural, and philsophical developments over the course of history but tragically were often passive observers to events in their own land due to being subjects of other nations' empires.

	Jews in Russia, the Countries of the Former Soviet Union, Central and Eastern Europe
		This list of titles, acquired by the University of Chicago Library in the years since the collapse of the Soviet regime (1990-1997), was compiled as an aid to research and study for those whose interests converge from within the broader fields of Slavic and East European Studies and Jewish Studies.
		In scope and coverage, the list reflects the long-standing and recently expanded interest within the university, as well as the blossoming of publications on contemporary Jewish history and culture throughout the countries, old and new, of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
		This increase in publications is most notable in Poland, the Czech Republic and in the Russian Federation itself.

	The Jewish Role in the Bolshevik Revolution and Russia's Early Soviet Regime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)

		The murder of the Tsar, deliberately planned by the Jew Sverdlov (who came to Russia as a paid agent of Germany) and carried out by the Jews Goloshchekin, Syromolotov, Safarov, Voikov and Yurovsky, is the act not of the Russian people, but of this hostile invader.
		For example, Jews were normally not permitted to reside outside a large area in the west of the Empire known as the "Pale of Settlement."
