LONDON (JTA)—The director
of the Jewish State Museum in
Prague has attempted to explain
why celebration of the 1000th anni-
versary of Jewish settlement in
the lands of the Bohemian Crown,
originally scheduled to take place
in 1966, has been postponed three
times in the past three years.
Writing in the first 1969 issue of
"Judaica Bohemiae," the muse-
um's bi-annual publication, Dr.
Wilem Benda said the celebration
in 1966 was postponed because of
"domestic policies."
In 1967, he said, "events in the
Middle East and the rupture of
diplomatic relations with Israel"
led to another cancellation. In
1968, Czechoslovakia found herself
in an "exposed position" which
called for yet another change of
schedule, he wrote. Dr. Benda said
it was hoped that "it would be
possible to mark the event in 1969"
but "from the international view-
point, that year proved not too pro-
pitious for the realization of large
scale projects" and it was con-
sidered that "unpretentious domes-
tic events would be more suit-
able." Dr. Benda observed that
four years are not decisive in the
celebration of a niillenium. But he
gave no indication that the anni-
versary would be observed on an
international scale in the future.
Czech officials and representa-
tives of Jewish organizations in
Prague and other cities have at-
tended the unveiling of a memor-
ial monument to Jewish victims of
Nazi persecution at Cheb in north-
ern Bohemia. The event was re-
ported in Vesnik, the official organ
of the Jewish community in Bo-
hemia-Moravia. T h e mounment
was erected on the site of a 19th
Century Jewish cemetery that was
destroyed by the Nazis in 1944.

The delegation included Jews from
Prague, Cheb, Karlovy Very, Ma-
rianske and Marienbad, according
to Vestnik.
