THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

In Czech newspaper reports of a
similar denial by Prof. Jiri Ha-
jek, a former foreign minister
who also has been the target of
attacks in Pravda and other
Soviet papers as an alleged
last August's Soviet - led invasion.
The writer said, "Everyone has
the right to disagree with the views
of Sik and Goldstuecker, but no one
is entitled to spread anti-Jewish
hysteria in this country and to call
for pogroms against the Jews."
The references were to Dr. Sik
and Dr. Edward Goldstuecker, the
Czech Jewish writer and champion
of liberal reforms, who fled the
country after the Soviet occupation.
