Summary/Abstract: The Jewish Museum in Prague's 2001 Annual Report details significant progress in various areas, including the improvement of facilities and operations, the relocation of offices to a newly refurbished building, and the enhancement of visitor services with new exhibitions and a gallery. The report highlights the opening of the Jewish cemetery in Žižkov and the launch of major projects such as the examination of over 100,000 books for restitution claims. It also reflects on the museum's role in preserving Jewish history and culture, as well as its educational and cultural activities, which include international collaborations, seminars, and cultural programs. Despite a decline in tourism due to the September 11 attacks, the museum achieved its best economic results to date, thanks to the dedicated efforts of its staff.
