The case is a small parcel sent to our granddaughter's children for X-mas.
The parcel was sent from Lakewood, Ohio, on Nov. 11th 2012. On Friday, Nov. 23rd, we got e-mail from our granddaughter that the parcel is on hold in Prague, because the contents (box of candy, mittens, T-shirts, socks, X-mas decoration, custom jewelry, all for her two small children) is by "about SIX (6) dollars" over the newly set permissible limit and for this reason she must pay custom duty 96 Kc plus DPH, all together 115 Kc, plus for additional something called "zpracovani deklarace" (whatever this idiotic nonsense is) additional 180 Kc. Till then the parcel will be held "free of charge" (bez poplatku ???) till Dec. 5th, after that with a 10 Kc per day fine.

In her bestselling new book Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-1956, Anne Applebaum writes that the Czechoslovak Communist Party created a paramilitary organization to assist with the expulsion of ethnic Germans from the country after WWII. It was the same paramilitary organization, she says, that helped the Communists carry out their coup d'état in 1948. In a very literal sense, the expulsions laid the institutional ground for the imposition of terror that would follow a year or two later, she argues. Local Communist officials were often in charge of the redistribution of German assets, and the mass seizure of German property prepared the population for the more widespread nationalization that came after the coup. For this reason alone, Applebaum would undoubtedly disagree with Václav Klaus's assertion last week that the expulsion of ethnic Germans was a rather marginal event of WWII.

Hi Mr. Sinagl.
Last Saturday I went to visit my husband, and have to say that I was shocked to see how thin he is. He is always hungry, and his guard (here I have to point to expression used at this point by Mrs. Salter - vychovatel -, in Czech this means "pedagogue", "tutor", "educator" and such; Communists used this expression to instill in the minds of political prisoners the main reason for their custody - "re-education", and in the minds of guards, mostly under-educated, illiterate bums, their so called superiority over their charges. It is really ironic that the today's Czech penal system still uses this absolutely idiotic Communist expression for prison guards) told me, if he is so hungry, he can go to prison canteen to buy anything he wants over there. And if he has no money, too bad for him. In prison, my husband cannot work (he doesn't speak Czech, which is discrimination), and for that reason he has no money. From what I send him, they take half to cover his incarceration on Pankrac prison.

This is what we get for 6.3 billion of our tax dollars in aid to these thugs, and our president apologizes because some "nitwit" made a movie the Muslims did not like. I am ready for CHANGE !!!!!!!! This was checked and the news story is correct - he was raped and tortured before he was murdered. Had enough of this crap yet? Isn't it about time we did something as a nation?

History is vital to our understanding of who we are as a people, but it becomes confusing due to unanswered questions and untold stories.The good and bad in all need to be known. The pain suffered and the death toll of the Jewish people during WWII is well documented and well known. The pain suffered and the death toll of the Eastern German people is not known at all. An expulsion turned genocide has been a well kept secret for over 60 years and it's time for the survivors to tell their stories.
