"While Spicker hoped many Czechs would visit, he�d had no illusions.

"�I knew that tourists would be the main people to come,� he said. �Czechs are not that excited to talk about the past.�

"Marian J. Kratochvil of Institute of Contemporary History in Prague said he didn�t think that was the issue.

“The Czechs do not mind discussing things that happened during those 41 years of Communist rule; most of us are proud to have contributed to the resistance,� he said. �Others were, at least, ‘non-belligerent.�”

"But, he added, the museum �is a damned pseudo-capitalist venture, and no Czech would ever visit it.”

The anti-communist propaganda and hysteria is working as intended.

Hey xl & a, Czechs are into sovereignty. They throw the missionaries in the river.
