An interesting detail noticed by our followers. Jiří seems to be wearing @RealSociedad club badge.
Was it the symbol of the club in 1930s? Were there any links between Real and Czechoslovakia? Could there be any other organization with a similar symbol? https://twitter.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1285530206380400640

Incredible. @atotxaorg found that @RealSociedad in 1923 played two games in Prague against Deutcher Fußball-Club (a club found by a group of German Jews in Prague). It could be a souvenir after one of the games. Yet, he was born in that year. Why would a teen wear it?
Another theory is that it could have been some hidden political statement linked with the Spanish Civil War as Real is in the Basque Country. Yet here we could use some help from an expert historian on pre-war Czechoslovak society.
