Germans, after the second war. Lots of them. And the term "ethnic cleansing"
was, at the time, coined by a Czech politician to justify this. Just as the
argentinians didn't invent "disappearing" people, the Serbs didn't invent
"ethnic cleansing." A petty little point, i admit.

Some germans. Or austrians. How many germans were living in Prague before
? Not to mention the many villages. Kafka wrote in german, for
exemple.

But this is history.
