Czechs to return Hebrew manuscripts The Czech Republic is planning to return Hebrew manuscripts stolen from a Jewish seminary in Poland during World War II. The 34 manuscripts were taken from the Jewish Theological Seminary in Wroclaw, Poland, a Czech official told The Associated Press. The manuscripts, some of which date back to the 13th century, are slated to be returned in October, when the city of Wroclaw celebrates its 800th anniversary. " Maybe the Slovaks will reciprocate by re-establishing a Jewish Theological Seminary in Wroclaw (formerly Breslau)?
