Zwittau and Brinnlitz: Czech Republic, Not Czechoslovakia

Zwittau (Svitavy) and Brinnlitz (Brněnec) are located in the Czech Republic. Czechoslovakia was the sovereign state from 1918–1992; it peacefully dissolved into the Czech Republic and Slovakia on January 1, 1993.

• Svitavy (Zwittau) – Town in the Pardubice Region, eastern Bohemia. Birthplace of Oskar Schindler.
• Brněnec (Brinnlitz) – Village in the South Moravian Region (near Svitavy). Site of Schindler's factory (1944–1945), now a memorial.

Both are in the Czech Republic today. The German names reflect the pre-1945 Sudeten German population, expelled after WWII.
