Heritage, Coexistence in the Town of Trebic, Trebic, Czech Republic

One thing I’ve noticed when visiting the Czech Republic is how well the country’s Jewish history has been preserved in places. I think Prague is a great example of that, but the town of Trebic in the country’s south is an even better one.
