Capek House

This document verifies the entrance of a group of Jews, including Ernest, into Czechoslovakia on May 9th, 1945 upon returning from a concentration camp in the Friedland District of Germany. Capek House was a year-round resort in Maly Svatonovice, a municipality in Northern Czechoslovakia. The group stayed at Capek House until May 11th, 1945, when they began their journey to Prague via train.
