Stock Photo - Dov Strauss, 89, a Czech Jew born in Jihlava and living in Israel who survived WWII in Denmark as a child, wanted to participate in the early general election but in the end he did not manage to arrange a voting card, he has told reporters. Dov Strauss was one of 80 Czech Jewish children sent to Denmark in November 1939 with the aim to continue to Palestine. However, they spent the war at farms in Denmark and later in Sweden. To be able to vote here, I had to go to the embassy in Tel Aviv but it was closed, said Strauss, who came to the Czech Republic to attend the presentation of a book about him and the other Czech Jewish children rescued in Scandinavia. Strauss said if he had been able to vote, he would have supported TOP 09 of Karel Schwarzenberg and that he would have definitely not voted for the Communists (KSCM).
