Prague (JTA) -jj •SoVri afrer'
Hitler's 'soldiers triarched into
Czechoslovakia
: in 1939, they de-
manded the confiscation of all
Jewish community possessions _ .
The Nazis intended to open a
museum of Jewish artifacts as
a testament to an extinct race.
Nearly 60 years later, the Jew-
ish Museum in Prague has
opened its Education and Culture
Center to teach people about the
Czechoslovakian Jewish com-
munity, which lives on despite its
brutal past.
Some 80,000 Czech Jews died
in the Holocaust.
"Our original intention was to
establish a center that would
cater predominantly to (visiting)
Israelis," said Shalmi Balmor, the
director of the center, which
opened in late August. "But we
now realize that there is tremen-
dous interest among Jews in the
Diaspora and among non-Jews
as well."
The center, located in a build-
ing that was returned to the
Czech Jewish community two
years ago, is "a place where peo-
ple can learn the history behind
the sights ofJosefov," Prague's
renowned Jewish Quarter, Mr.
Balmor said.
The center offers lectures,
films, guided tours and educa-
tional programs for adults and
an outreach program for Czech
students.
"I know there was once a vi-
brant Jewish community here,
and that Jews have made im-
portant contributions to Czech
society, but I know little else
about them," said Frantisek
Bouc, a 23-year-old Czech stu-
dent who has attended programs
at the center.
Mr. Balmor said the center is
designed to ensure that Jewish
tourists do not experience the
frustration he did during a 1995
visit to Prague.
As a historian and the former
director of education at Yad
Vashem, the Holocaust memor-
ial in Israel, Mr. Balmor came
here early last year hoping to
learn about local Jewish history.
Late last year, he gained the
support of the Jewish Museum
here, which includes two syna-
gogues and the old Jewish ceme-
tery and houses 40,000 artifacts.
The American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee and the
Memorial Foundation for Jewish
Culture were among the organi-
zations that provided funding for
the center's establishment.
