Antigypsyist and antisemitic graffiti in Nové Hrady

A chapel in Nové Hrady was defaced with racist slogans praising WWII while accusing Roma and Jews of laziness and parasitism, accompanied by a swastika and a hammer-and-sickle. The imagery showed how antigypsyist and antisemitic narratives survived into the socialist era, combining far-right and extremist symbolism. The incident triggered local investigation, but authorities rarely recognised its ideological roots or its impact on minority safety.
