Antisemitism

An organization called the National Guard in the Highlands identified and intimidated people of alleged Jewish origin in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands

In Nové Město na Moravě, the underground organization of the National Guard in the Highlands published the magazine Nové Novměstsko. It was mainly aimed against the Roma, but it also contained information about alleged Jews in the region. For example, one man was described as a "false and greedy Jewish pig" and the street where he lived was also listed. A list of alleged "Jews and drug addicts" was also published, along with their phone numbers. Adolf Hitler was described as a "leader, democrat and thinker". The author of the magazine, who was suspected of criminal activity with extremist overtones, could not be found. However, the case is evidence of an attempt to concretize hateful prejudices against people in the region.
