The Lives of the Jews of Horažd'ovice
The lives of the Jews of Horažd’ovice In Memoriam WESTMINSTER SYNAGOGUE Our community’s visit to Horažďovice confirmed that no brutality or oppression can ever destroy the spirit of humanity. #e inhabitants of that little town not only showed us their respect and love for those who were so cruelly taken from their midst but also that no amount of fear placed into people’s minds and hearts whether it was through fascism or communism can destroy the spark of godly spirit implanted within us. #e preservation of the Horažďovice scroll and the scrolls from other Czech cities is a reminder of our duty to foster their memories both within the Jewish community and outside, to pass it on to our children and to future generations, forming a chain strong enough to always overcome. It also tells us how important it is to respect one another and not allow prejudice to rear its ugly head. #ere has to be tolerance and understanding and our role here, with our friends in Horažďovice and with the world at large, is to ensure that this never ever should happen again. We must be vigilant and never remain silent in the face of danger or where truth is at stake. We owe this duty to all those who have perished in the horrors of the Holocaust and also to those who today, in different parts of the World, suffer because they are seemingly different. Humanity is only one, just as there is One God whose watchword we say twice a day, Hear O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is One. -
Newsletter 2/3 2013
ŽIDOVSKÉ MUZEUM V PRAZE Newsletter 2/3 2013 EXHIBITIONS AT THE ROBERT GUTTMANN GALLERY Symbols of Emancipation – Nineteenth-Century Synagogues in the Czech Lands The exhibition Symbols of Emancipation – Nineteenth-Century Synagogues in the Czech Lands was on view at our Robert Guttmann Gallery until 4 August (for more information about the exhibition, see Newsletter 1/2013). Focusing on the stories behind more than two dozen synagogues in Bohemia and Moravia, this show traced the development of Jewish communities in the period when the Jewish population became an important part of the economic, cultural and social life of the Czech lands. It was seen by more than 7,500 separately paying visitors. Truth and Lies: Filming in the Ghetto Terezín, 1942–1945 The exhibition Truth and Lies: Filming in the Ghetto Terezín, 1942–1945 has been on view at our gallery since 29 August. This show – prepared in collaboration with the National Film Archive in Prague – charts the history behind the making of propaganda films about the Terezín ghetto on the basis of the latest findings. The first film, Ghetto Theresienstadt, was made in the autumn of 1942. A fictional story about the Holländer family, its purpose was to depict the transfer of people of Jewish origin to the ghetto. The film was shot and documented by a professional camera crew from Berlin, and a group of prisoners under the film producer and director Irena Dodalová were ordered to take part in the filming. The film had to be rewritten but was never actually completed. An increasing amount of reports were reaching the public about atrocities committed against European Jews at the time. -

Pražanů, 282 tis. jezdiloalespoň jednou měsíčně. Nejvíce narostl počet cyklistů ve věkové kategorii 40 –49 let. Posilování dopravy na kolech má vliv na úbytek přepravního výkonu realizovaného individuální automobilovou dopravou, nemá vliv na přepravní výkon veřejné dopravy, naopak s ní lze vhodně kombinovat. Investice do cyklistické infrastruktury, TK TSK HMP 28.6. 2011 Základní mantry rozvoje cyklistické infrastruktury: q Cyklostezky, cyklotrasy a dopravní opatření pro cyklisty se realizují proto, že cyklisté v Praze už jezdí, ne proto, aby jezdili. To, že jich díky bohatší a bezpečnější síti cyklistických řešení jezdí stále víc, je pozitivní a očekávatelný důsledek. q Víc cyklistů, především dopravních, nutně vytváří tlak na další řešení, především dopravní. q Výběr řešení a jeho kvalita je určena jeho bezpečností, uživatelskou vlídností a provozní potřebností, nikoliv cenou. q „Měkká“ řešení (především dopravní opatření, integrující cyklistickou dopravu v hlavním dopravním prostoru) jsou relativně levná a podporují primárně dopravní cyklistiku. q „Tvrdá“ řešení (především budování nových cyklostezek vně centra pražské aglomerace), jsou relativně drahá a podporují hlavně rekreační cyklistiku a meziregionální cykloturistiku. -

Historiography on the Jews of the Bohemian Lands in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries*
Studia Judaica 19 (2016), nr 1 (37), s. 41–64 doi:10.4467/24500100STJ.16.002.5348 Ines Koeltzsch Modernity, Identity, and Beyond: Historiography on the Jews of the Bohemian Lands in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries* Abstract: The author discusses the main developments in the historiography on the Jews of the Bohemian Lands in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which has expanded considerably since the 1980s. The historiographical debates have been focused mainly on conceptions of modernization/modernity and iden- tity/loyalty and are characterized by a desire to avoid linear and homogeneous ascriptions. Nevertheless, a number of gaps still exist in the research. So far, the Jewish history of the Bohemian Lands has been focused mainly on its cen- ter, Prague, and lacks distinct studies in comparative history, the history of cul- tural transfer and/or entangled history. These analytical restrictions need to be overcome in order to achieve a more succinct contextualization within modern European Jewish history. Keywords: historiography, Jews, Bohemian Lands, modernity, identity, center, periphery, Czechoslovakia. In the atmosphere of Czechoslovak cultural liberalization in 1967, the medievalist František Graus raised one of the key questions of Jewish history: “Were the Jews in the past a nation, a group with a clearly defined economic function, a Schicksalsgemeinschaft [a community bound together by a common fate], or a religion?” To which he proposed the answer: “They were a little bit of all of these and yet none of the above—they * Research on this article was enabled by my postdoc project at the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences (research scheme: RVO 67985921) and by my fellowship at the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies in 2014/15. -

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] 2 Charles University, Faculty of Science, Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Albertov 6, 128 43 Praha 2, Czech Republic Abstract.Alarge temporary excavation in the Middle Ordovician in the NE part of the Barrandian at Praha-Vokovice (Červený vrch Hill) was studied. Volcanic products forming the lower part of the exposed Ordovician sequence are represented mostly by basalts and basaltic tuffs. The lowermost partsof the Šárka Formation contain very rich graptolite and phyllocarid fauna, whilst benthic organisms are very rare. This faunal association contrasts with the younger “Euorthisina-Placoparia Community” sensu Havlíček and Vaněk (1990) and enables comparison with other localities in the lower part of the Šárka Formation in the Prague Basin.

PRAGUE Hospitality Q3 2020
MARKETBEAT PRAGUE Hospitality Q3 2020 Published : Oct 26 th , 2020 MARKET SUMMARY & OUTLOOK YoY 12-Mo. Chg Forecast Investment The total hotel transaction volume in Prague declined by 85% during the first nine months of 2020. The only property that was sold was the 152-room Carlo IV hotel, purchased by COVIVIO as part of a €487 million deal for a 8-hotel portfolio from Varde Partners. While this deal was agreed before the COVID-19 Trends outbreak that had a notable impact on investment activity, the sentiment remains somewhat positive with at least one deal expected to close later this year. So far there is no evidence of COVID-related yield change, however, some upward pressure is expected given the increased uncertainty and restricted Prime Yields access to financing. Nevertheless, the relatively high number of investors looking for opportunities and lack of assets on the market should prevent any major change. Market Due to COVID-19, RevPAR fell by 81% to €14 in the first 9 months of 2020. This was primarily driven by a significant drop in occupancy to 21% (down by Performance 73%), as well as a decline in ADR by 27% to €67. While there were some signs of recovery during the summer months, performance began to decline again in September, setting a muted outlook for the rest of the year. The supply pipeline in Prague remains limited, totaling to 1,8K rooms with expected delivery over the next 3 years, accounting for a CAGR of only 1,5% over Supply the period. The constrained supply together with the proposed regulations of the short-term accommodation is expected to support the recovery of the hotel sector.
