Gratulace k obrovskému českému úspěchu! 🇨🇿🏅
**Zlato po osmnácti letech. Pět středoškoláků přineslo Česku první medaili z IYPT**
Pět kluků z Hlučína, Plzně a Prahy stálo 12. července 2026 v Curychu s českou vlajkou v rukou. Právě skončil poslední boj 39. ročníku International Young Physicists’ Tournament. Česko získalo zlato poprvé od roku 1998.
Turnaj není klasická olympiáda s testy. Funguje jako skutečná vědecká konference v rychlém tempu. Týmy pěti studentů dostanou rok předem sedmnáct otevřených problémů. Musí je vyřešit experimentálně, teoreticky i publikačně. Na místě pak v takzvaných Physics Fights jeden tým prezentuje řešení, druhý ho ostře oponuje a třetí celou diskusi hodnotí. Jury z univerzitních fyziků rozdává body. Po pěti kolech se sečte celkové skóre.
Letos se zúčastnily týmy z pětatřiceti zemí.
Tým tvořili Lukáš Franta (kapitán, Gymnázium Christiana Dopplera v Praze), Kryštof Basista (Gymnázium Jana Kainara v Hlučíně), Michal Fišer a Daniel Jedlička (SPŠE Plzeň) a Daniel Švaňa (taky z Dopplera). Tři z nich už před turnajem pracovali na reálném výzkumu. Kryštof Basista publikoval článek o plynech s nulovým chemickým potenciálem v European Journal of Physics. Michal Fišer a Daniel Jedlička dělali stáže na Fyzikálním ústavu Akademie věd, kde používali Ramanovu spektroskopii a syntetizovali materiály MXene. Lukáš Franta se turnaje účastnil už potřetí.
Mezi sedmnácti problémy byly i takové, které vypadají jako hra, ale skrývají vážnou fyziku. Jeden z nich zněl: jak vysokou fontánu dokáže vytvořit kovový kroužek, když spadne do nádoby s vodou. Další zkoumal samospouštěcí sifon z ohnuté hadičky, který začne téct bez předchozího odsátí. Další se týkal levitujících grafitových destiček, které se dají ovládat světlem, nebo plamene, který se šíří dokola v prstenci hořlavé kapaliny. Studenti si vybírali, co je bude bavit, a pak to museli obhájit před zkušenými fyziky.
Příprava probíhala klasicky u nás: národní kolo, pak dubnový výběrový kemp. Organizátoři z Fyzikálního ústavu AV ČR podle svých slov věděli, že mají silný ročník.
Úspěch není jen o medaili. Ukazuje, co se stane, když se nadaným středoškolákům umožní dělat skutečnou vědu místo dalšího biflování. Tihle kluci už před Curychom věděli, jak vypadá laboratoř, jak se píše článek a jak se obhajuje výsledek před kritickým publikem. Turnaj jim dal jen větší jeviště.
Za rok se bude konat národní výběr znovu. Otázka není, jestli přijde další silný tým. Otázka je, jestli se podaří udržet podmínky, ve kterých takoví studenti vznikají, i finanční podpora účasti na olympiádách.

P.S.: pro jistotu popíšu ještě systém medailí, aby nedošlo ke zbytečným rozepřím - český tým skončil v bodovém pořadí čtvrtý. Podle pravidel IYPT ale zlato nedostávají jen první tři týmy. Zlatou medaili bere nejlepších deset procent všech účastníků, minimálně však tři nejlepší. Česko se vešlo do této hranice

On This Day — June 9, 1938
Adolf Hitler personally ordered the demolition of Munich’s Main Synagogue, a grand 19th-century landmark that had stood as a proud symbol of Jewish life in Germany for 51 years.
There was no need for a "spontaneous mob.” This was cold, bureaucratic evil with Hitler's own signature.
Rabbi Dr. Leo Baerwald and hundreds of congregants worked through the night in a desperate race against the wrecking crews, salvaging Torah scrolls, sacred objects, and whatever they could carry. The newly installed organ was handed over to a Catholic church.
The next morning, the synagogue was razed. Its rubble was dumped into the Isar River — fragments of stone columns, friezes, and a Hebrew tablet of the Ten Commandments only rediscovered in 2023. The site became a parking lot.
This was a dress rehearsal for the nationwide orgy of destruction that would erupt four months later on Kristallnacht.
This was Jewish life in Nazi Germany in 1938 — before the Holocaust, but already Jews were being stripped of rights, dignity, property, and sacred history, while much of the world shrugged or looked away. Hitler simply found the synagogue an "eyesore" near his favorite parts of the city.
The British press reported it matter-of-factly. The Labour Daily Herald rightly called out the "perverts and maniacs" inflicting this cruelty and thinking themselves grand for it.
This is how it starts: first the buildings most sacred, then the books most inspiring, then the bodies most innocent. The Jews of Munich learned that day — as millions more would soon learn — that no amount of integration, achievement, or contribution would ever satisfy those who hated them simply for existing.
88 years later, the same ancient hatred wears new masks. Synagogues are attacked again. Jewish students are hounded on campuses. Visible Jews are beaten in the streets. “Globalize the Initifada” is chanted openly.
The rubble of that Munich synagogue, pulled from a river decades later, is a warning etched in stone: they tried to bury us. They failed.
The Jewish people rebuilt — in Munich itself, across Israel, and around the world. The Nazis are dust. Their ideology festers on only in the spiritually bankrupt.
May the memory of that destroyed synagogue — and every Jewish house of worship desecrated before and since — fuel our resolve.
“Never Again” is not a slogan. It is a vow written in the ashes of history.
The destroyers always lose in the end.
84 years since Operation Anthropoid 🇨🇿
On 27 May 1942, Gabčík&Kubiš carried out the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich—one of the boldest acts of WWII resistance.
Planned in the UK 🇬🇧 with SOE support, its impact was global.
A symbol of courage & sacrifice. We will not forget.
Acclaimed Hungarian Jewish director László Nemes just dropped a truth bomb at Cannes: “There’s an orgy of antisemitism, an absolute, shameless orgy of antisemitism, overtaking the West.”
His 2015 masterpiece Son of Saul — a harrowing film about a Sonderkommando at Auschwitz — won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and the Cannes Grand Prix.
Today? He says it “wouldn’t even make the Oscar shortlist.” Because “of the politicization of cinemas, because anything that’s Jewish is now considered . . .nobody would touch it with a 10-foot pole.”
This is where we are. Jews are being erased from the stories of their own genocide while Hollywood and the cultural elite cheer. The entertainment industry’s antisemitic purge is real — and it’s accelerating.
We must call it out. Every single time. Thanks László Nemes for doing so at the risk of your own career.

Dne 19.května 1909 se v Londýně narodil Nicholas Winton.
Ve třiceti letech zachránil 669 dětí ze “vzdálené země, o které víme málo” (slovy Chamberlaina).
Osm vlaků z okupovaných českých zemí. 669 životů.
On This Day — May 15, 1948: The Jews Refused to Die Again
While every newspaper & radio pundit on Earth was already writing Israel’s obituary, something completely insane happened.
On this day, 5 Arab armies (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon) plus Saudi contingents invaded the newborn Jewish state with one declared goal: finish what Hitler started & “drive the Jews into the sea.”
The math was grotesque: 600,000 Jews (men, women, and children) versus a combined Arab population of nearly 200 million with professional armies, British officers, and Soviet weapons.
Israel had almost nothing — homemade Sten guns, Molotov cocktails, and whatever rifles could be scrounged. Britain and America both enforced a total arms embargo.
The world waited for the slaughter.
Instead, the Jews did the impossible.
From the displaced-persons camps of Europe and from across the West came roughly 4,000 Machal volunteers — battle-hardened WWII veterans from Britain, the United States, Canada, and South Africa. Fighter pilots, bomber crews, and infantry officers dropped everything and rushed in.
One of the most surreal moments: a young Jewish radio repairman from England arrived with zero combat experience. When asked what he could do, he said he fixed radios. The commanders’ eyes lit up. A shipment of broken walkie-talkies had just arrived. He and one Israeli partner spent weeks in a dusty former British camp bringing them back to life, one by one, so Israeli troops could finally talk to each other on the battlefield.
Then came the miracles even the Bible might envy.
Stalin, hoping to pull the socialist-leaning Israel into the Soviet orbit, secretly allowed Communist Czechoslovakia to become Israel’s lifeline. Prague sold the Jews Messerschmitt 109 fighters (assembled in secret), Spandau machine guns, rifles, ammunition, and bombs. Three B-17 Flying Fortresses were quietly bought in Panama, flown to Czechoslovakia, loaded with arms, and smuggled straight into a war zone — heavy bombers delivered to a country that didn’t officially exist two days earlier.
Against every prediction, the tide turned.
Israel lost 1% of its entire population in the fighting — a higher per-capita death toll than Britain suffered in all of World War II. Hardly a family was untouched.
But by early 1949, the invading armies were pushed back and the armistice lines (the “Green Line”) were drawn — lines the Arab side itself insisted were temporary military lines only, never borders.
This wasn’t just a military victory.
This was the Jewish people — survivors of pogroms, exiles, and the Holocaust, joined by Jews who had never left the Middle East — declaring with their blood that after 2,000 years of wandering and persecution, they would never again be defenseless in their ancestral homeland.
That is why a strong, sovereign, self-reliant Israel is not optional. It is the difference between survival and another chapter in the long book of Jewish tragedy.
Never again will Jews have to beg strangers for the right to live. Never again will our survival depend on the fleeting “kindness” of empires that look away.
Israel is the guarantee — secured by Jewish strength, not by the mercy of others.
Am Yisrael Chai.🇮🇱
On This Day, May 14–15, 1974: The Ma’alot Massacre — Palestinian Terrorists Slaughter 22 Israeli Schoolchildren on Independence Day
While Israelis were celebrating their country’s 26th Independence Day, three Palestinian terrorists from the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine turned a school trip into a bloodbath.
Disguised in Israeli army uniforms, they infiltrated from Lebanon and began their rampage in the immigrant town of Ma’alot.
- They burst into the home of Fortuna and Yosef Cohen and murdered the entire family: the parents, their 4-year-old son Eliahu, and left their 5-year-old daughter Miriam wounded. Fortuna was seven months pregnant.
- They shot a sanitation worker after asking him for directions to the school.
- Then they stormed the Netiv Meir Elementary School, where 115 teenagers (mostly 15–16 years old from Safed) were sleeping after a field trip.
The terrorists took the children hostage, wired the building with explosives, and demanded the release of 23 imprisoned terrorists.
For over 12 hours the kids huddled on the floor in terror as the terrorists screamed threats and prepared to execute them.
When the elite Sayeret Matkal unit finally stormed the school, the terrorists sprayed the classroom with automatic gunfire and hurled grenades directly at the children.
22 children were slaughtered.
Another 3 adults died with them.
68 more were wounded.
This was not “resistance.”
This was the deliberate, sadistic targeting of Jewish children — on Israel’s Independence Day.
This is what the Palestinian “resistance” has always been.
Long before Hamas, long before October 7, 2023, Palestinian terror groups were slaughtering the most innocent among us: schoolkids, pregnant mothers, entire families. Ma’alot was not an outlier. It was the pattern — from the 1920s pogroms, through the Mufti’s Nazi alliance, through decades of plane hijackings, school bus ambushes, and suicide bombings.
They have never wanted a state beside Israel.
They have always wanted Israel gone — and Jewish children dead.
Stop calling it “resistance.”
Call it what it is: genocidal Jew-hatred with a new name.
The Jewish people survived the Holocaust.
We survived Ma’alot.
We survived October 7.
And we are still here — stronger than ever.
Am Yisrael Chai.
Never forget the children of Ma’alot. Never let anyone sanitize what “from the river to the sea” has always meant.
This week, Edith Eva Eger passed away at 99.
At 16, she was deported to Auschwitz with her parents. They were murdered upon arrival. Edith, a ballet dancer and gymnast was forced to perform for Josef Mengele.
In her memoir, The Choice, she writes:
“Dance for me,” Mengele ordered.
As he watched, he calmly decided who would live and who would die.
“If I miss a step… it could be me.”
“I dance. I dance. I dance in hell.”
In that moment, she made a decision that stayed with her for life:
“I am free in my mind. He never will be.”
When Allied forces arrived, she was found barely alive in a pile of bodies - saved only because an American soldier noticed her hand move.
After the war, she immigrated to the United States, built a family, and struggled with survivor’s guilt until meeting Viktor Frankl, whose guidance helped her heal.
She went on to become a psychologist influenced by logotherapy and an existentialist approach to therapy.
At 90, she published The Choice, which became an international bestseller. She later wrote The Ballerina of Auschwitz and The Gift.
En 1950, el gobierno iraquí aprobó una ley despojando a los judíos de su ciudadanía 🕍
Más de 120,000 judíos dejaron atrás hogares, negocios y una comunidad que había existido en Mesopotamia durante más de 2.600 años, desde el exilio babilónico de 586 a. C.
La Operación Ezra y Nehemías fue el transporte aéreo secreto que los trajo a Israel.
A las familias se les permitió una maleta. Irak congeló las cuentas bancarias. Las propiedades fue confiscada. Abordaron aviones con casi nada, muchos de ellos viendo un avión por primera vez en sus vidas.
No eran refugiados del Holocausto. Eran refugiados de un borrador diferente, uno del que el mundo rara vez habla. Las comunidades judías de Irak, Egipto, Siria, Yemen y Libia fueron desmanteladas casi por completo en una sola generación. 850,000 judíos fueron desplazados de tierras árabes. Su historia merece ser contada. 💛
Pustil jsem si rozhovor @Dobrovsky_Sidlo s @prezidentpavel .
Ono se mi zas tak často nestává abych podcast přerušoval “ Pane/ ano pane!”.😉
Jedna z vytrvalých lží které o něm dezoši šíří je ta o jeho prostoduchosti.
Já slyšel chlapa který umně vykrouženými argumenty v košatých větách zvedal témata která populistická banda nezvládá ani zmínit- třeba ten o poválečné obnově 🇺🇦.
Zkušeného muže který zažil co málokdo z žijících 🇨🇿- a obstál v tom.
Borca který zmínil že už by měl být víc s vnoučaty ( a jako chceš být vnouče PP!) ale furt je pro něj podstatné sloužit…téhle zemi.
Ztělesňuje pro mě to nejlepší z 🇨🇿 a má mou maximální loajalitu…

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults.
82 years ago today, two young men crawled out of a woodpile in occupied Poland and began walking — straight into the unknown.
One was just 19. The other, 26.
For two endless years they had endured the unimaginable inside Auschwitz — the worst place on earth. They had seen selections, gas chambers, and crematoria running day and night. They had counted the trains, the souls, the murdered.
And they refused to stay silent.
Their names were Rudolf Vrba and Alfréd Wetzler.
Vrba had stood on the Judenrampe for months, watching train after train arrive, memorizing the horror no one outside was supposed to know. Wetzler had worked in the mortuary, witnessing the machinery of industrial murder up close.
In early 1944, they learned the Nazis were preparing for the slaughter of nearly 800,000 Hungarian Jews. New rails, new killing facilities — everything was being scaled up for mass murder on an unthinkable scale.
They could not wait any longer.
On April 7, 1944, they slipped into a hidden cavity inside a massive woodpile, surrounded by petrol-soaked tobacco to confuse the dogs. They lay there for three terrifying days and nights as SS guards and search parties hunted them. On the evening of April 10 — exactly 82 years ago — they finally emerged and began their journey.
They walked 80 miles over eleven harrowing nights through hostile territory. Moving only in darkness, hiding by day, crossing rivers, guided by stars, sustained by the quiet bravery of Slovak peasants who risked everything to help them.
On April 21 they reached Slovakia. There, they dictated the first detailed eyewitness report of Auschwitz — 33 pages of precise, devastating truth: layouts of the gas chambers, capacities of the crematoria, transport-by-transport death counts. They estimated 1.75 million Jews had already been murdered.
The Vrba-Wetzler Report reached the Vatican, Allied intelligence, and Jewish leaders. But it sat for weeks while the world hesitated.
Then, in June 1944, it broke into the Swiss press. Public outrage followed. Roosevelt, Churchill, the Swedish king, and the Red Cross applied pressure. On July 9, Hungarian Regent Miklós Horthy ordered the deportations stopped.
Because of their courage, the remaining 200,000 Jews of Budapest were spared deportation. Those lives were saved.
Vrba and Wetzler risked everything because they believed the truth still mattered — that if the world only knew, it would act.
They were right.
Their report became one of the most important documents of the 20th century, entered into evidence at Nuremberg. It stands as eternal proof that two ordinary young men, armed only with memory and unbreakable will, can pierce the darkness and change history.
Never forget the price they paid to speak.
Never again should the world look away.
