Fragment of stolen Kyjov/Gaya Pinkas returned to Prague
The Jewish Museum in Prague announced the return of a fragment of the Kyjov/Gaya community Pinkas, a manuscript recording the years 1654–1854. The volume was stolen from its archives on 30 January 2007; part appeared in an Israeli auction catalogue in January 2015. The museum identified the folios using copies and microfilm. Czech and Israeli police and INTERPOL assisted the return. Only a fragment, not the complete volume, was returned.
