Talk:Josef Korbel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the last sentence may need a little explanation: he is accussed of stealing from his home? --Sam Francis 19:21, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Exactly. He's accused of taking items from his home before the Nazis could? This is a crime? Can we get a source for this? --Xinoph 22:44, Sep 18, 2004 (UTC)

I had removed sentence "Though he has left a legacy as a political teacher, Korbel has also invited controversy. He has been accused of stealing art treasures and furniture from his former home in Prague before leaving the country." and link Reprint: Matthew Campbell, Albright's Father 'Took War Loot To America', Sunday Times.

Such legal actions are dozen on a dime in Czech Republic. Various people feel an opportunity to quickly enrich themselves claiming to be victim at this or that time. Most of these cases are thrown away by courts. These people had heard about success of someone and just try whether they can grab something too (going to court is still cheap in Czech Republic). So I guess the link above and sentence I removed belong to the same category and are practically irrelevant for the article. Pavel Vozenilek 00:05, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
