Print reporting from Rome — On a continent still haunted by World War II ghostly – and ghastly – shadows of that convulsive conflict have been impossible to avoid as Europe grapples with its biggest refugee crisis since the war ended 70 years ago They were there when Czech authorities wrote numbers on the hands of Syrian refugees arriving by railway in the city of Breclav believing themselves bound for their hoped-for destinations were instead taken to camps they did not want to go to See the most-read stories this hour >> When an authoritarian leader declared that adherents of a particular religion were not wanted in Europe because they threaten its Christian identity None of these is exactly parallel or equivalent to the horrors of the Second World War a conflagration most Europeans alive today did not experience firsthand But they have been enough to arouse unsettling associations at a moment when the liberal values embraced by much of Europe in the ashes of that war are being severely tested by the thousands of people arriving here daily But they’ve been met by chaos and confusion in nations ill-equipped to deal with them where 200 Syrians fleeing their country’s civil war arrived by train Wednesday Waiting for them were Czech authorities charged with registering and processing the newcomers the officials assigned numbers to each person – and wrote those numbers with felt-tipped pens on the refugees’ outstretched hands What seemed a simple bureaucratic shortcut immediately produced uncomfortable evocations of the Holocaust of death camp inmates whose arms were tattooed with prisoner numbers by the Nazis Jewish and human rights organizations were aghast which brings to mind the entry procedures at Nazi extermination camps women and children were marked with a number before being sent to their deaths,” said Ruth Dureghello The Czech government quickly halted the practice saying it had intended nothing malicious or sinister But the incident showed how long the shadows are that Europe’s darkest days continue to cast over the continent Those shadows also appeared in nearby Hungary which has quickly turned into one of the epicenters of the crisis Hundreds of migrants were engaged in a standoff this week with authorities at Budapest’s main railway terminal After allowing some to journey west to their preferred destinations – richer countries such as Germany and Sweden – Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government abruptly canceled international train services stranding the migrants in a nation that most of them want to leave There have been protests and scuffles with police waving useless train tickets that devoured hundreds of dollars from their meager supplies of cash human smugglers are hawking their sometimes fatal services allowing hundreds of people to board trains they thought were headed to Austria or Germany But Orban’s government now appears to have been playing a cruel trick The trains pulled out of Budapest and headed west but stopped barely 20 miles outside the city where stunned passengers were ordered off to be registered at a camp for migrants in the town of Bicske in a scene that revived memories of trainloads of people borne to other camps in Central Europe against their will underscoring what has become perhaps a surprising historical irony of the present crisis Where once thousands of people tried frantically to get out of Germany fearing the rise of Hitler and his diabolical policies And the government in Berlin is welcoming them: It has pledged to take in an astonishing 800,000 asylum seekers which far exceeds the total that the other 27 European Union countries NEWSLETTER: Get the day’s top headlines from Times Editor Davan Maharaj >> Human rights groups criticize what they say is the heartlessness of rich nations that have tried to bar the door to refugees especially on a continent where Jews and other persecuted groups were unable to find safe havens in their hour of need Galvanized – or shamed – by the heart-wrenching photos this week of a Syrian toddler whose lifeless body washed up onto a Turkish beach some European countries are rethinking their stands Under political and popular pressure, British Prime Minister David Cameron announced Friday that his country would receive “thousands” more refugees than originally planned Ireland is also increasing the number of asylum seekers it will accept has sparked an ugly war of words with Hungary Orban accuses Chancellor Angela Merkel of encouraging migrants to come to Europe when she should be discouraging them and of wreaking havoc on his country A right-wing nationalist with a huge majority in the parliament Orban was widely denounced last week when he singled out a particular religion and its followers as undesirable – an attitude that stained Europe with blood in the not-so-distant past Orban declared that absorbing hundreds of thousands of mostly Muslim migrants into the EU would threaten Europe’s “Christian values system.” “We have a right to decide that we do not want a large number of Muslim people in our country,” Orban said “I do not see any reason for anyone else to force us to create ways of living together in Hungary that we do not want to see.” Other European leaders retorted that Christian values call for treating the poor and dispossessed with compassion religion and nationality the person in need represents,” said EU President Donald Tusk This is the continent whose leaders vowed “Never again” after the political and moral calamity of World War II The European Union was created to help make good on the promise to uphold democracy and human rights How well it can continue to lay the ghosts of the war to rest will only be seen in the days ahead

southern Moravia into a striking landscape It married Baroque architecture (mainly the work of Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach) and the classical and neo-Gothic style of the castles of Lednice and Valtice with countryside fashioned according to English romantic principles of landscape architecture it is one of the largest artificial landscapes in Europe la famille ducale de Liechtenstein a fait de ses domaines du sud de la Moravie un paysage exceptionnel À l’architecture baroque œuvre principalement de Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach classique et néogothique des châteaux de Lednice et Valtice répond une nature travaillée selon les conceptions romantiques anglaises de l’art paysager c’est un des paysages les plus vastes créés par l’homme en Europe بين القرنين السابع عشر والعشرين،

的领地建成了引人注目的风景区。莱德尼采—瓦尔季采的建筑城堡式巴洛克式、古哥特式以及新哥特式等多种风格的美妙结合，并融入了带有当时风靡英国的浪漫主义景观建筑风格的乡村景观。景区占地200平方公里，是欧洲最大的人工风景区之一。 правящие герцоги Лихтенштейна превратили свои владения в южной Моравии в изумительный ландшафт Он сочетает в себе архитектуру барокко (главным образом работы Иоганна Бернхарда Фишера-фон-Эрлах) классический и неоготический стили (замки Леднице и Вальтице) а также романтический английский сельский пейзаж Это один из самых обширных в Европе рукотворных ландшафтов la familia ducal de Liechtenstein modeló un paisaje excepcional en sus dominios del sur de Moravia Las obras arquitectónicas barrocas –debidas principalmente a Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach– y los palacios de estilo neoclásico y neogótico de Lednice y Valtice se armonizan con un paisaje configurado según la concepción romántica inglesa del paisajismo Este paisaje artificial se extiende por unos 200 km2 y es uno de los más vastos creados por la mano del hombre de Europa The Lednice-Valtice valley is located in South Moravia the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is unique because of how architectural biological and landscape features have been shaped over time The Liechtenstein family came first to Lednice in the mid-13th century and by the end of the 14th century they had also acquired Valtice These properties were to become the nucleus of the family's extensive possessions The two estates were later joined with the neighbouring Břeclav estate to form an organic whole to serve the recreational requirements of the ducal family and as material evidence of its prestige The execution of this grandiose design began in the 17th century with the creation of avenues connecting Valtice with other parts of the estate It continued throughout the 18th century with the construction of a network of paths and scenic trails imposing order on nature in the manner of the English artists and architects of the Renaissance The early years of the 19th century saw the application by Duke Jan Josef I of the English concept of landscaped designed park strongly influenced by the work of Lancelot “Capability” Brown at Stowe and elsewhere in England Enormous landscaping projects were undertaken which included the raising of the level of the Lednice Park and the digging of a new channel for the Dyje River Smaller parks designed based on the English pattern were also created around three large ponds The composition of the landscape is based on the two country houses The Valtice country house has medieval foundations but it underwent successive remodelling in Renaissance Its present Baroque appearance is due to several architects Domenico Martinelli and Anton Johann Ospel Along with the Baroque Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary it is the dominant feature in the system of avenues created in the 17th and 18th centuries The Lednice country house began as a Renaissance villa of around 1570 and then was progressively changed and remodelled to reflect Baroque It was the 1850 Gothic Revival remodelling that brought it into harmony with the prevailing Romanticism of this part of the landscape The park of the Lednice country house includes architectural objects like a remarkable Palm house a unique Minaret and other minor structures it is the mingling and interplay of Baroque and Romantic elements that gives it a special character: architecture and landscape are intimately associated with one another All the buildings are sited with great care at high points Rybniční zámeček (Fishpond Manor) or Pohansko at the crossing of major routes (the Obelisk) or at the boundary between Moravia and Lower Austria (Hraniční zámeček) The view and vistas are also mutually linked Most have views of the two dominant features but there are also significant visual connections between other groups (the Temple of Apollo An important element in the appearance of this entire area is the very wide range of native and exotic tree species and the planting strategy adopted The greatest variety is to be found in the parklands which cluster around the two main residences and along the banks of the fishponds between Lednice and Valtice The Pohansko Manor is built on the site of an important hillfort of the Great Moravian period dating from the 8th century The 2 km of massive ramparts enclosing an area of 28 ha are still visible Excavations have revealed the court of the ruler a church (the plan of which is preserved in situ) several substantial houses and a rich burial ground The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is an exceptional example of a designed cultural landscape which is made particularly impressive by the number and variety of cultural and natural elements that it contains Criterion (i): The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is an outstanding artistic creation that succeeds in bringing together in harmony cultural monuments from successive periods and both indigenous and exotic natural elements to create an outstanding work of human creativity Classical and Neo-Gothic architectural styles and by transforming the landscape according to the English romantic principles Lednice-Valtice estate served as a model throughout the Danube region Criterion (iv): The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is an outstanding example of a cultural landscape designed and created intentionally by a single family during the century of Enlightenment The property includes the territory of the former estate of the Liechtenstein family All the key elements conveying the Outstanding Universal Value of the property are situated within its boundaries There is no buffer zone due to the characteristics of the site Although the most important elements necessary to convey the Outstanding Universal Value are contained inside the property boundaries there is a need to protect the key viewpoints outside the boundaries Because of this fact and the proximity of the town Břeclav and of other villages a buffer zone may be proposed in the future to keep the visual integrity The property has a stabilized landscape planning; however there is a risk of disharmonious development (e.g Nature conservation organisations exert some pressure on the site that infringes the preservation of the original compound of the landscape and of the woody plants The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is of high authenticity concerning its present form and appearance which conform closely with the ideas of successive owners over several centuries The landscape has continued to evolve according to the original planning principles The prince's country houses serve as architectural museums; their interiors are well maintained and open to the public All buildings are restored using original materials and techniques Exotic tree species planted on the grounds come from seedlings and seeds imported from North America at the beginning of the 19th century Plants in the unique Palm house in Lednice are cultivated using traditional methods with manual labour playing a considerable role The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is protected by Act No The property is designated a protected cultural landscape The Lednice and Valtice country houses are designated national cultural heritage sites The property does not have a buffer zone due to the characteristics of the site but it is neighbouring

landscape under the overall supervision of the Ministry of Culture urban) is regulated by the Act mentioned above and by the valid land use plans with respect to the visual integrity of the property any actions that might affect the property must be authorized by the appropriate state agencies and regional offices a buffer zone may be proposed in the future to keep the visual integrity of the property The property management is by an inter-branch steering group The Management Plan is in place and regular updates are planned The property management is provided by several stakeholders on the national There is a need to reinforce the role and involvement of the local communities as well as to make sure that the property is managed in accordance with sustainability A suitable solution would be to develop a site management system (coordinator) including a legally based competence platform to provide on principles of the participatory management and subsidiarity a conceptual as well as daily co-ordination of interdisciplinary interests relating to the preservation of values of the whole property The state-funded institution National Heritage Institute provides finances for maintenance and conservation of both country houses their grounds and along with some minor structures forming the composition of the property Due to the property extent and the complex structure of ownership inside the property individual maintenance schedules have been set Financial instruments for the conservation of the property include grant schemes and funding through the programme of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic allocated to the maintenance and conservation of the immovable cultural heritage and as well as financial resources allocated from other public budgets funds from private institutions and collaborating agencies also contribute to the conservation of the property annual monitoring reports have been prepared at the national level to serve the World Heritage

cannot legally be sold before August 1 A dry summer has pushed up the harvest, and some vendors have started selling the young wine in parts of Břeclav in South Moravia “Year after year it’s different and the year before it just came out, everything was so wild, everything matured earlier,” one manufacturer told iDnes The young wine is made by partly fermenting the first pressing of grapes which results in a cloudy beverage with about 4–6% alcohol The name burčák only refers to the young wine made from local farmers markets and local wine festivals when in season But the freshest burčák is normally found in Moravia where they have festivals that celebrate the wine harvest The first signs of burčák have started to pop up around Moravia this week Miloslav Machuča from Valtice grows grapes almost exclusively for the production of burčák.

Od ročníku 2005/2006 tak Břeclav reprezentuje pouze klub MSK. „Za to, že se v té době v Břeclavi fotbal vůbec hrál, vděčíme Jirku Kalužíkovi který je dodnes náš velký mentor,“ děkoval Hrabal bývalému řediteli velké firmy Gumotex MSK od té doby hrálo jedenáct sezon třetí ligu a nyní už začalo osmou sezonu v divizi D kteří do toho dávají peníze a mají potěšení protože například třetí liga je opravdu kanál na peníze které inkasují týmy v první a druhé lize,“ zdůraznil předseda Technicky byla situace velmi těžko uchopitelná kdy jsme soutěž zachránili bez boje,“ uznal Od té doby se situace v klubu stabilizovala Zvolili jsme cestu angažování hráčů z nejbližšího okolí abychom eliminovali vysoké výdaje,“ neskrýval Hrabal Velkou komplikací ve shánění posil však nadále zůstává krátká vzdálenost hranic s Rakouskem které tam hráčům nabízí v posledních třídách Břeclavský fotbal vychoval i dva fotbalisty, kteří se prosadili v profesionálním fotbale.
