Intersection register · custodian, not owner
A small town in Bohemia (Vysočina region), Polná was home to a Jewish community established since the sixteenth century, with a synagogue and cemetery. It is sadly known for the Hilsner affair (1899–1900), an antisemitic trial comparable to the Dreyfus affair, in which Leopold Hilsner was falsely accused of ritual murder.

The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Polná give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
