- Jan Baťa's administration helped more than 1,000 Jewish employees emigrate from Czechoslovakia before the Holocaust, resettling them all over the world
- Jan Baťa moved a mountain to create the town of Batov (now Otrokovice), which today has a population of more than 19,000

"If people start to change their legal, democratic statements because somebody wants to hurt them or try to kill them, well, then we don't have a democracy anymore. So, I am not at fault whatsoever that there is a threat to my person... We do not believe that assailants and murderers should decide where the limits of free speech should be...." — Rasmus Paludan, chairman of the Danish anti-Islam party, Stram Kurs.
The question appeared to receive its final answer ten years later, when the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo published cartoons of Mohammad and paid with the lives of many of its staff. The magazine's editors later said that there would be no more Mohammed cartoons.

Readers of this website will not forget how I spent many years dealing with the case of ing. arch. Marek Říčař. He was in a protective police program with his entire family for 5 years, including a change of names. Věra Jourová played a strange role in the case. Neither did the liberating judgment of a future Commissioner remove these strangeness. The course of the last court hearing was, with probability, bordering on certainty rigged. Also, the rate of compensation and its amount (2.7 million crowns) for a 33-day unlawful detention did not create the confidence. Jourová was accused in the Budišov case and acquitted for lack of evidence, not because the deed did not happen! Investigating police officers, whom she confessed (as they were in court under oath), were dismissed, the evidence was destroyed.
