Arnošt Frischer

{{Short description|20th century Jewish Czech politician}}

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.{{cite book |last1=Láníček |first1=Jan |title=Czechs, Slovaks and the Jews, 1938-48: Beyond Idealisation and Condemnation |date=2013 |publisher=Springer |isbn=978-1-137-31747-6 |page=116 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wibZuPleC1kC&q=Frischer&pg=PP1 |language=en}}
