Arnošt Frischer (1887–1954) was a Czechoslovak Jewish politician who represented the Jewish community to the Czechoslovak government-in-exile. Much more so than other Jews, Frischer sympathized with the Czech National Social Party's aims of ethnic homogenization in postwar Czechoslovakia.[1]
After the war, he returned to Czechoslovakia and was elected chairman of the Council of the Jewish Communities in Bohemia and Moravia-Silesia.[2] Frischer was ousted from his position after the 1948 Communist coup;[3] he soon emigrated to the United Kingdom[4] where he died in 1954.[5]
