For anyone who cares, Beneš network was invented by Václav Beneš, son of the former president of Czechoslovakia Edvard Beneš https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edvard_Bene%C5%A1


Also known for the eponymous Beneš-decrees which collectively stripped ethnic minorities of certain basic rights, property, and citizenship after the war.

Those are from Edvard, not Václav.


Sure, the GP mentioned Edvard.


The word “also” in your comment implies that you're talking about the subject of the parent comment, which is Václav.


I meant it as continuing the sentence about Edvard, and in any case presidents are more likely to pass decrees than computer scientists. But anyway I see I stepped on a nerve with the comment.

What? I just wanted to clarify your comment since it seemed to say the wrong thing.


Remind me which ethnicities were those?

Also what was the relationship between members of those ethnicities and Nazis?

Here's something to jog your memory

Whichever they were, the concept of "collective sin" applied to an ethnic group is atrocious.


Dude, 99 percent support for Hitler.
