The town was an ethnically-German town in the Austro-Hungarian province of Bohemia.
Kerry/Kohn was an Austrian Jew. Why are the Czech's claiming him?
What's next? Are they going to call Budweiser a Czech beer?
I have nothing against the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans, but this historical revisionism and ignorance is silly.

The Sudeten Germans DO have something against their expulsion though. As the article implies, they were really the only inhabitants and people FROM, quite a large area, and they were just shipped out and the territory given to ethnic Slavs who had never lived there, or wanted to.

I have a souvenir bottle here - empty :(
It says Budvar Budweiser, Czech Premium Lager. Perhaps it was a Sudetenland brew at first ?
