JPost tells:
Police in Prague are investigating the murder of Jiri Fiedler, an
influential researcher on Jewish heritage in the Czech Republic.
Fiedler, 78, and his wife, Dagmar, 83, were found dead in their
apartment last month, but news reports at the time did not reveal their
names.
Reports said the murders were believed to have occurred around the end
of January, but their bodies were not discovered until mid-February.
Fiedler, who was not Jewish, began documenting Jewish heritage sites in
what is now the Czech Republic in the 1970s, riding his bicycle to
remote towns and villages to photograph and describe abandoned Jewish
cemeteries and former synagogues, rabbis’ homes, Jewish schools and
other sites that stood in ruins or were transformed for other use.
