Manipulation of this “infographic” beats all records - described as “percentage of Jewish population murdered by country during #Holoacaus” but:
- There was no such countries as #Poland and #Czechoslovakia (100% occupied by #Germany and #USSR since 1939) or #Ukraine (did not exist as separate entity before and after WW2) etc
- Ukraine was 100% part of #USSR yet there’s separate entries (!) for both #Ukraine and Soviet Union
- Nazi #Germany (!) humbly ranks in the middle with 69% whereas it was 100% responsible for Holocaust in all other countries
- Including #France which ranks at 25% even though its collaboration Vichy government actively cooperated with deportation of Jewish population to death camps, as did #Hungary
The purpose of this weird - in all aspects - chart is unclear, except for smear campaign against the Central-Eastern European countries that hosted the most Jews on the eve of WW2 simply because before that they were kicked out from Western Europe, while whitewashing others, such as Germany, France and Soviet Union 🤷

This lady is from a different era.
She was born before #WWII even started.
She's lived through it all, including the #Anschluss of #Austria into the #German Reich, #NevilleChamberlain's appeasement of #Hitler, and latter's annexation #Czechoslovakia.
She thoroughly deserves rest now.
However, looking at her laid-back life, it seems she will see the beginnings of the next World War as well.

⬆️ @Geri
>> #Israel requiring extra territory… like #GolanHeights and Southern #Lebanon, is the same sort of demand #Stalin asked for with #Poland, #Hungary, #Czechoslovakia, #Romania et al at #Potsdam.
It is also what drove #Nazi #Lebensraum ideology to establish a Greater #German Reich with territorial expansion into #Europe.
They said it was necessary for their survival, and existing populations would have to be removed permanently through mass #deportation, #extermination, or #enslavement

"Russia needs a military alliance" says Russian paper
by #SteveRosenberg #Readingrussia
04:03https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6jClWRnSic
An opinion piece in Moskovsky #Komsomolets calls for Russia to form a military alliance.
Remembering the Warsaw Pact, the writer claims that Moscow was “restoring constitutional order in #Hungary in 1956 & in #Czechoslovakia in 1968,” a sign of how Russia in 2026 is reinterpreting history.

You Can See a Swirling Sculpture Made of 8,000 Books at a Library in Prague
Officials are managing an influx of tourists coming to see “Idiom,” a seemingly infinite tunnel of books by the artist Matej Krén, at the Municipal Library
By Christian Thorsberg, Correspondent January 16, 2026
Inside Idiom, which uses mirrors to provide the illusion of infinite length Omar Marques / Anadolu Agency / Getty ImagesNearly 30 years after a dizzying sculpture fashioned from books was first installed at the Prague Municipal Library in the Czech Republic, literature lovers on TikTok and Instagram have turned the artwork into a viral fascination and unexpected tourism hotspot.
Idiom, created by Slovak artist Matej Krén, features roughly 8,000 books stacked into a tower. Mirrors placed on the top and bottom give the illusion of infinite length, and a raindrop-shaped entryway invites visitors to peek inside the wormhole—almost like they’re literally disappearing into a good book.
“The Idiom is meant to symbolize the infinity of knowledge,” according to a description of the sculpture on the library’s website. “[Books] are like bricks to [Krén], but they contain much more information, destinies, stories and knowledge. He puts them into the form of dwellings: primitive on the one hand, infinitely intelligent on the other.”
During peak travel seasons, the library estimates that 1,000 people per day are visiting the installation. Omar Marques / Anadolu Agency / Getty ImagesThe installation made its debut at the Sao Paulo International Biennial in 1995, and in 1996 it was brought to Prague. It was first exhibited for a summer at the Jiri Svestka Gallery, which in the 1950s was a communist warehouse of banned books, before moving to its permanent home at the library in 1998.
For years, Idiom stood as little more than a familiar fixture, with its fame generally limited to the regular library-goers in the Czech capital. But beginning in 2022, the sculpture gained renown by going viral on BookTok, the pocket of TikTok dedicated to discussions of books and writing. Algorithms on Instagram similarly pushed the sculpture to the forefront of feeds.
“Kids that were in Prague looking into their phones suddenly saw a cool thing that they liked and they wanted to see it as well,” Czech journalist Janek Rubeš told Radio Prague International in 2023. “And as it is in today’s world, everyone wants to have the same picture or same video, because it looks cool and they can get likes.”
Quick fact: Idiom on the cover of Science
A photo of the sculpture was featured on the magazine’s cover in January 2011.In that issue, researchers analyzed a massive collection of 5.2million books to study cultural trends.
Today, librarians and local tourism officials are bewildered at the foot traffic the sculpture generates. During peak travel seasons—such as Christmas and Easter—more than 1,000 people each day endure wait times of more than two hours to snap a photograph.
“We’ll have to deal with it in some way, because working with tourist crowds is a completely different service from that we have provided up to now,” Lenka Hanzlikova, a spokesperson for the library, tells Agence France-Presse (AFP). “Most readers laugh about it and say it’s bizarre, but we have had people who wanted to return books and joined the queue.”

And 3- because Beck leaned more towards Nazi #Germany than the #USSR (pact of non-aggression, participation in the carving of #Czechoslovakia) until early 1939
4- Finally, and to the last moment, he refused the only option #France had to help #Poland at that time, which was French lobbying for a Soviet defence of Poland against Nazi Germany. Whether it would have been workable with his assent and/or improved Poland's fate is another question entirely.

When political repression intended to isolate and break individuals instead produces solidarity, resistance, and moral authority: Klára Pinerová examines the prison experience of Czechoslovak political prisoners from the 1950s to post-Communism as both a tool of repression and a foundation for collective identity and memory politics with the emergence of the "heroic victimhood" narrative.

Literary Hub – How a 1977 Czech Writers’ Manifesto Applies to the Stark Realities of America in 2025
Illustration from article, no credit.How a 1977 Czech Writers’ Manifesto Applies to the Stark Realities of America in 2025
What We Can All Learn From the Courage of Charter 77
By Jonny Diamond, October 10, 2025
The wonderful Czech writer Ivan Klima died this past weekend at the age of 94. Klima lived a remarkable, principled life, having survived both the Nazi occupation of Prague (he spent three years in the concentration camp at Terezin as a boy), and the post-1968 repression of the Soviet regime.
Unlike his more famous literary compatriots, Milan Kundera and Josef Skvorecky, Klima stuck around in Czechoslovakia, despite being forbidden from publishing for 20 years. For two decades Klima was consigned primarily to menial work, as a street sweeper, bricklayer, orderly… But he kept writing. And he kept resisting, through the publication of literary samizdat (his own and others), organizing clandestine salons, and helping to disseminate Charter 77, an artists’ manifesto named for the year it was written.
Editor’s Note: Charter 77 appended below.
Charter-77DownloadThe main authors behind Charter 77—Václav Havel, Jan Patočka, and Pavel Kohout, who were responding to the Communist government’s crackdown on free expression—generated its moral (and to some extent legal) authority by citing two UN human rights covenants signed by the Czechoslovak government in 1968, in the lead up to the so-called Prague Spring. [Spoiler: the Russians didn’t approve, sent tanks into Prague, and crushed any hope of a freer society].
The Communist regime quickly made it a crime to distribute copies of Charter 77, calling it “an anti-state, anti-socialist, and demagogic, abusive piece of writing,” and deeming its signatories to be “traitors and renegades” and “agents of imperialism.” As for how they saw themselves, the organizers behind Charter 77 were very clear about being nothing more than an ad hoc confederation of likeminded people, and certainly not an opposition party. In their own words, they were a “loose, informal, and open association of people . . . united by the will to strive individually and collectively for respect for human and civil rights in our country and throughout the world.” (So, more of a shared set of beliefs than a formal organization, like, you know, antifa.)
Why is a 50-year-old writers’ manifesto worth thinking about now? First of all, the aforementioned human rights covenants, cited at length in the charter, map neatly over what we still like to think of as western democratic ideals of free expression and individual liberty. And just as Charter 77 decries the state crack-down on those ideals in 1970s Czechoslovakia, we too can cite many and obvious authoritarian crimes from the Trump administration circa 2025.
From government officials menacing late-night comedians to masked thugs landing helicopters on apartment buildings, from Democratic officials threatened with jail time by the president to the brazen flouting of the rule of law, America’s decades-long drift into authoritarianism has sped up dramatically in the last nine months. We are in the middle of an anti-democratic sea-change, and as each week passes the likes of Stephen Miller grow bolder in flouting their fascist inclinations.
But it’s never too late to fight for basic human freedoms, for the right to be who you are and to say what you want, the right to not go hungry or get shot at school or lose everything because you get sick. Luckily, Charter 77—which is but one of countless historical examples of courage in the face of tyranny—offers a clear blueprint for how we might respond to the Trump administration’s attacks on free expression and the rule of law:
With regard to the targeting of pro-Palestinian ideas on college campuses:
The right to freedom of expression, for example, guaranteed by Article 19 of the first-mentioned covenant, is in our case purely illusory. Tens of thousands of our citizens are prevented from working in their own fields for the sole reason that they hold views differing from official ones, and are discriminated against and harassed in all kinds of ways by the authorities and public organizations.

What We Can All Learn From the Courage of Charter 77
By Jonny Diamond, October 10, 2025
The wonderful Czech writer Ivan Klima died this past weekend at the age of 94. Klima lived a remarkable, principled life, having survived both the Nazi occupation of Prague (he spent three years in the concentration camp at Terezin as a boy), and the post-1968 repression of the Soviet regime.
Unlike his more famous literary compatriots, Milan Kundera and Josef Skvorecky, Klima stuck around in Czechoslovakia, despite being forbidden from publishing for 20 years. For two decades Klima was consigned primarily to menial work, as a street sweeper, bricklayer, orderly… But he kept writing. And he kept resisting, through the publication of literary samizdat (his own and others), organizing clandestine salons, and helping to disseminate Charter 77, an artists’ manifesto named for the year it was written.
Editor’s Note: Charter 77 appended below.

Applebaum: Russia occupied #Poland, #Hungary, East #Germany, #Czechoslovakia after WWII. It's exactly the same war crimes and genocide against Ukrainians.
They arrest teachers, policemen, mayors in Ukraine, put them in filtration camps, move people to prisons in Crimea and Russia. Ukrainians disappear like in the gulag. Way past time to end russia’s ability to wage war.
