Summary/Abstract: On October 12-13, 2021 in Jindřichův Hradec, the Jewish Museum in Prague, in collaboration with the Museum of Jindřichohradecko, hosted the eighth meeting of archivists, historians, Hebraists, and regional museum workers focused on Jewish history in the Czech Republic, particularly modern issues and border regions' history. Nineteen speakers discussed the historical development and legal status of Jewish religious communities from the 18th century to World War II, highlighting significant Jewish personalities. The seminar also covered the evaluation of archival sources on Jewish history preserved in Czech archives, with contributions on the Holocaust period, especially the fate of Jews from border areas, regional topics, and documentation of Jewish cemeteries. Additionally, a study based on NKVD documents was included. The authors are responsible for their studies' content, and the spelling of "žid" or "Žid" is left to their discretion.

Židovská obec Postoloprty a její místo v regionu severozápadních Čech do konce 18. století

- Summary/Abstract:The paper deals with the history of the Jewish community of Postoloprty (Postelberg) in the context of Jewish settlement in north-west Bohemia. This community is remarkable in that it is one of the few in Bohemia to have been established as a result of the expulsion of Jews from Vienna and from Lower Austria after 1669. A key role in the relocation of the Jews here was played by the owner of the Postoloprty domain, Georg Ludwig Graf von Sinzendorf (1616–1681), who took under his protection almost 20 Jewish families who had originally settled on his estates in Lower Austria. The character of the owner of the domain was generally crucial for the Jewish community. This is because he was in a position to alter their established way of life by rejecting their existing rights and obligations. After 1691, the new owners of the domain, the Schwarzenbergs, introduced stricter rules for the Jewish community, especially with regard to marriage permits and to their dealings with the Christian majority. The Jews were gradually segregated to a separate street in the north-east of the town. Towards the end of the 18th century, the community became heavily indebted and its population stagnated as a result of a combination of several unfavourable factors – notably, a sudden reduction in the number of families in 1711, high costs to be paid for the newly built synagogue, and a series of natural disasters.

- Summary/Abstract:The topic of the persecution and emancipation of the Jews opens up a range of interesting issues – from the adoption of a general policy of disciplining subjects through to an exploration of personal identities in the pre-modern era. In less than a century, the status of the Jewish population of the Bohemian lands had changed beyond recognition. Whereas in the 18th century they were still only a tolerated section of society, sometimes at risk of fatal persecution, by the end of that century they were gradually able to participate in the economic life of the Habsburg Monarchy, and after the middle of the following century they had finally gained full civil rights. This paper outlines the relationship of the central and local authorities towards the Jewish population of the Bohemian lands by focusing on the official agenda of the royal mining town of Horní Slavkov. Extant sources – such as the town’s correspondence with Jewish communities and individuals, or the town’s criminal law agenda – provide insights about the legal practices of the day and enable us to highlight the problems associated with enforcement of the legislation restricting the right of residence for Jews in mining towns.

- Summary/Abstract:The town of Staňkov (Stankau) is located 20 kilometres north-east of Domažlice in South Bohemia. After the relaxation of discriminatory laws in 1848, Jews began to move to large urban areas, gradually leaving the small rural settlements, such as Staňkov. Around the middle of the 19th century, a large number of Jewish families moved to Staňkov, which at the time comprised two parts. After the turn of the 20th century, some of them began to relocate to large towns. Right up until the 1930s, there were still members of a few Jewish families living in Staňkov, namely the Bloch, Kohn, Lederer, Wilhelm, and Weil (Bruml and Schwarz) families. These families had a similar life experience. In the middle of the 19th century, some of their relatives moved to Staňkov, where they began to prosper both socially and economically. Few, however, had the foresight to leave the country by the end of the 1930s; some tried, but it was too late by then. In November 1942, they were deported to the Terezín/Theresienstadt ghetto. Later, they were sent on to concentration and extermination camps in the East. Most of the members of these families perished, apart from a few individuals who managed to survive the war. Alžběta (Elisabeth) Ledererová returned to Staňkov from the Mauthausen camp. The Wilhelm siblings Otto, Helena and Aloisie (Louisa) Wilhelm survived the war abroad.

- Summary/Abstract:The border region of Vitoraz (Weitra) in South Bohemia, lying between Gmünd on the Austrian side and Suchdol nad Lužnicí (Suchenthal) on the Czech side, was annexed to Czechoslovakia in July 1920. There were Jewish families living in a few of the formerly Lower Austrian villages at that time. This paper presents information about individual Jewish families ascertained from sources that have been preserved in a fragmentary way or by chance. The focus is on the attitudes of the Jewish inhabitants at certain historical points in time, and on their fate in the 20th century. An awareness of the dispersed rural settlement in this area is now almost completely missing. References in the scholarly and regional literature to Jewish families in the Vitoraz region are still limited to the area of České Velenice (Gmünd) during the Second World War; moreover, they concern mostly Hungarian Jews who died in the Gmünd work camp at the turn of 1944 and 1945 and who were buried in the cemetery at České Velenice. The aim of this paper is to return to the history of the communities in Vitoraz the names of the Jewish families who belonged there.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper follows on from the previous article, which deals with the fate of the Jewish minority in the town of Tachov (Tachau) in the first half of the 20th century. This time the focus is on Jewish families who lived in villages in the judicial district of Tachov (Tachau). Only a small number of Jews lived in areas of the Tachov judicial district outside the town of Tachov (50 in 1921, only 38 in 1930, and only 16 in 1938). The first part of the paper acquaints us with the demographic structure of the Jewish minority according to data obtained from census forms dating from 1921 and 1930. The second part focuses on individual Jewish families living in nine villages in the Tachov judicial district – Bažantov, Částkov, Halže, Lesná, Nové Sedliště, Písařova Vesce, Pořejov, Staré Sedliště, and Tisová – and on their lives up until to the Holocaust period. The entire period under study is characterized above all by a steady decline in the Jewish population of rural localities, ultimately coming to a tragic end.

- Summary/Abstract:The 1930 census recorded that 48 Jews were living in ten villages of the judicial district of Bezdružice (Weseritz) in West Bohemia, in addition to the district town itself. In 1960, six of these villages were incorporated into the district of Tachov (Tachau), while four villages were included in the Pilsen-North district. Some of the Jews listed in the census were domiciled in other villages. However, a number of local Jews who were domiciled in villages of Bezdružice studied, worked and had families outside the district and region – and, less frequently, even outside Bohemia. After the 1930 census, some of the local Jews were the last to move out of the villages, and some of them died there. After the annexation of the Czechoslovak border region to Germany, the rest fled to Pilsen or Prague and did whatever they could to obtain the necessary documents to resettle anywhere. Some died prior to deportation, others succumbed to the squalid conditions in the Terezín/Theresienstadt ghetto. Most of the Jews perished in the transports and in the extermination camps. Only a few individuals made it to safety abroad. It is not know what became of some of them. Apparently, none of the Jews from Bezdružice received any of their property back after the end of the war. Most of their houses are still standing, and many of them still retain traces of the businesses that used to be located there.

- Summary/Abstract:This biographical study presents amicro-portrait of Joachim Deutschmann. He served in various rabbinic positions in Bohemia and Moravia at a time of dramatic social change in the Habsburg Monarchy at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. He not only gained a reputation within traditional rabbinic circles, but also enjoyed extraordinary respect among the younger generation of representatives of the Jewish Reform movement in Bohemia, Moravia, and Hungary. Although he left no comprehensive work, his homiletic sermons in Hebrew were preserved in manuscript copies by students who attended his private yeshivot in Hořice (Horschitz), Jevíčko (Gewitsch), Třebíč (Trebitsch), and Kolín, where he served as rabbi.

- Summary/Abstract:Bernard Schütz was born in 1878, the son of Jakob Schütz, a butcher in Lukavec (Lukawetz) near Pacov (Patzau), a small town with a strong Jewish community. In 1901, after learning the gingerbread-making trade and apprenticing as a journeyman, he became a self-employed baker in Jindřichův Hradec (Neuhaus). In 1903, after marrying Emilia Löwy from Vysoká Pec near Příbram, he moved to Pardubice (Pardubitz), where he opened a bakery specializing in matzah products and later founded the Mellekta gingerbread company, which became noted for its honey-marzipan gingerbread and chocolate toppings. On 7 May 1942, Bernard Schütz and his wife were deported to the Terezín/Theresienstadt ghetto, where he ran the bakery until May 1945. Unlike most of their family, they both survived the Holocaust. After the war, Bernard Schütz became chairman of the restored Jewish religious community in Pardubice. He died in Mariánské Lázně (Marienbad) on 18 August 1958.

- Summary/Abstract:Richard Glazar (29 November 1920, Prague – 20 December 1997, Prague) is known to the general public as one of the few people who managed to escape from the Treblinka death camp. As one of the last witnesses to the mass murders at Treblinka, he exerted a great deal of effort and energy to provide testimony about what happened there. He also wrote his story down and had it published as a book. Richard Glazar’s family roots are linked to the central Bohemian town of Kolín; his father was a member of the Goldschmid family, whose presence in Kolín was documented from the second half of the 18th century. He retained memories of his grandparents from Kolín, as well as his childhood experiences and his two years at high school there. How these roots in Kolín influenced the personality of Richard Glazar is a question that this paper seeks to answer.

- Summary/Abstract:The year 2019 saw the 100th anniversary of the birth of Karel Berman (14 April 1919, Jindřichův Hradec – 11 August 1995, Prague), who was a leading Czech operatic bass-baritone, composer, opera director, librettist, translator, teacher and, from 1953, member of the National Theatre Opera in Prague. In connection with this anniversary, this paper acquaints us with extant sources relating to Karel Berman’s parents (Rudolf and Anna, née Kačerová) and brother (Josef, b. 18 April 1924, Jindřichův Hradec – d. 12 August 1942, Majdanek). It is also seeks to reconstruct the pre-war life of the individual members of his family and to reflect on Karel Berman’s relationship to his home town.

- Summary/Abstract:Practically since time immemorial, the practice of confining people has served as an official restriction on the right to freedom of movement and residence, in effect as a ‘milder’ form of imprisonment. It has been used primarily by dictatorships, but also by democratic regimes at times of crisis. The practice was carried out, for example, in Czechoslovakia, especially in the last period of its inter-war existence from the autumn of 1938 and extensively after the establishment of the Protectorate. Its purpose was to eliminate dissenting adversaries, to intimidate the Protectorate population, and to punish visible opponents and members of the incipient anti-fascist resistance movement. One such protest action that occurred in Pilsen in April 1939 became known as the ‘Acid Affair’ (so named because of the throwing of acid on Nazi German uniforms, signs and posters), the consequences of which are analyzed in this paper. Based on a study of archival sources, the paper shows that it has been possible not only to reconstruct the circumstances behind this incident of local resistance, but also to obtain interesting information about the not-so-positive attitudes of the Protectorate authorities towards people of Jewish descent. The Pilsen incident points to a number of significant facts. Firstly, it was the first major anti-Jewish demonstration to have been officially held in Pilsen. Secondly, the Protectorate – i.e. Czech – security authorities actively contributed to the confining of the local Jewish population. And thirdly, it could have served both as a warning to the Jews of Pilsen and the surrounding area, and as a guide on how to act in the following months. The period of relative safety that Jews had experienced in the former Czechoslovakia was now definitely over.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper examines the circumstances under which Jews from the Czechoslovak part of Těšín (Cieszyn, Teschen) Silesia – deported by the Nazis to the town of Nisko on the San River in October 1939 – found themselves in the territory of the Soviet Union, where, with few exceptions, they were subjected to repression by the Soviet regime. It focuses on the specific fate of individual Jews in connection with their imprisonment, deportation, and forced labour in Soviet labour camps (Gulags), while also pointing to the possibilities and chances of survival in these inhuman conditions. The paper draws primarily on a study of former NKVD materials that have been preserved in Ukrainian state and security archives.

- Keywords:Jews; Czech National Bank; archive; Judaica;
- Summary/Abstract:The research community tends to associate the Archive of the Czech National Bank (“the Archive”) primarily with archival documents that are of importance for research on economic history, especially the history of banking, because the archival materials housed there are mostly the institutional fonds of Czechoslovak monetary institutions. This paper shows, however, that research in the Archive’s holdings can provide answers to questions relating to the clients (both corporate and individual), rank-and-file employees, and Jewish managers of these institutions. It acquaints us with the documents of Judaica in the Archive with focus primarily on the source base for three specific areas: bank clientele, the staff policies of monetary institutions, and Jewish financial elites. Particular emphasis is placed on sources that have either not been used by the research community at all or that have been studied only marginally. The paper also provides a survey of research interest in the study of Judaica in the Archive of the Czech National Bank between 2010 and 2020. This shows that research interest in this topic has been relatively constant over the last ten years, but also that researchers on Jewish history have not yet made full use of the diverse archival holdings in the Archive. Three reasons are provided as to why this is the case: there is limited awareness of the sources in the Archive; fewer archival documents now need to be traced by the Czech Republic’s Joint Working Commission dealing with the mitigation of property injustices inflicted on Holocaust victims; and the focus of research on banking history in the Czech Republic is not oriented toward Jewish-related topics.

- Summary/Abstract:Financial prosecutors’ offices were one of the branches of the Czechoslovak state administration in the 1950s. They were responsible for defending the interests of the state in official proceedings of all kinds. Among other things, they dealt with matters relating to the restitution of property of legal and natural persons of Jewish origin who had suffered during the years of Nazi occupation. The records of the Financial Prosecutor’s Office in České Budějovice (Budweis), which are now housed in the State Regional Archives Třeboň, contain files on specific cases in which relatives of Jewish victims of Nazi persecution sought redress for property injustices committed by the Nazis. These files provide an interesting record of the restitution proceedings and of the frequent obstacles placed in their way by the state authorities.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper presents a little-known Jewish cemetery in the village of Babčice (Babtschitz) in South Bohemia. In the sources, it is referred to as ‘Wosikowetz’, the German name for the nearby settlement of Osikovec. The cemetery is located at the very edge of the cadastral area of Babčice, next to a field path some distance away from any road. It was founded shortly after 1840. In addition to regular tombstones, it contains several grave markers that are notable for their artistic quality and remarkable iconography. The epitaph on the tombstone of the local rabbi Pinhas Blann (1865), in particular, provides information about the religious figures of the region. It is also interesting to note that the two grandparents of the prominent Czechoslovak politician Lev Winter (1876–1935) are buried here. Two elaborate tombstones in the cemetery were probably made by Isaac Weil (1812–1897), a stonemason from Radenín who was later active in Tábor. Weil is referred to as a stonemason (Steinmetzermeister) in a marriage license record from 1849. He is one of the first Jewish stonemasons in Bohemia to have been identified so far. Built in a characteristic masonry style that changed over time, his stone structures can be found across South Bohemia and adjacent areas.

- Summary/Abstract:It was perhaps as early as the first half of the 17th century that the first Jewish families settled in the village of Útvina (Uitwa) in the south-eastern part of the Karlovy Vary region. The local Jewish community, which consisted of only a few families throughout the period under study, also had its own synagogue from the beginning of the 18th century. Its houses and synagogue were often damaged by flooding and fire. After the middle of the 19th century, the Jews gradually left the village for larger settlements. By 1900 there were no longer any Jews living in the village. The Jewish community in Útvina owned a cemetery, which today is one of the few reminders of its former existence. The oldest tombstone to have been found dates back to 1782. The cemetery was badly damaged during the Second World War. In the following years, the tombstones were used for construction purposes and the cemetery area gradually became wooded over. The theft of tombstones has continued until the present day. In connection with the discovery of broken tombstones during excavation work on a plot of land in the nearby village of Přílezy in 2020, it was subsequently decided, for safety reasons, to move the two remaining tombstones from Útvina to the Jewish cemetery in Karlovy Vary.
