- Summary/Abstract:This text focuses on the plight of Jewish refugees from Galicia and Bukovina during World War I, who were forced to flee their homes due to the conflict between Russian and Austro-Hungarian armies. These refugees traveled in large numbers to the interior of the Habsburg monarchy, primarily to Vienna and various regions in the Czech lands. They faced numerous hardships, including long journeys on foot or in overcrowded trains, and were often housed in inadequate conditions. The state and charitable organizations provided some support, including food, clothing, and medical care. Refugees were also subjected to health inspections and quarantines to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Despite these efforts, many refugees suffered from poor living conditions and high mortality rates. The document highlights the significant impact of these refugees on local communities, both positive and negative, and the ongoing challenges they faced even after the war ended.

- Keywords:Czechoslovakia; Jewish refugees; Nazi persecution; interwar period; refugee policy; antisemitism;
- Summary/Abstract:This analysis looks into the refugee policy of Czechoslovakia during the interwar period, particularly focusing on Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution. Initially, Czechoslovakia was seen as a haven for refugees from Germany and Austria, with a relatively open policy. However, over time, the policy became more restrictive, especially towards Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe. The state distinguished between political and economic refugees, often denying entry to those deemed economically motivated. The document highlights the challenges faced by refugees, including legal and economic barriers, and the role of international and domestic organizations in providing support. It also discusses the impact of antisemitism and economic crises on refugee policy, and the eventual shift towards a more exclusionary stance as the political situation in Europe deteriorated.

- Summary/Abstract:The study analyses Czech newspapers during the Second Republic, a period marked by significant political, economic, and moral crises in Czechoslovakia. During the 1930s, Czechoslovakia became a refuge for many Jewish emigrants from Germany and Austria. However, the events of 1938 revealed a more complex situation regarding antisemitism in the country. The study highlights the critical economic situation, the government's challenges in dealing with refugees, and the rising nationalism and antisemitism in the press. Newspapers began promoting Czech culture and removing foreign influences, with Jewish artists and intellectuals being targeted. The study also examines the role of censorship and the impact of government policies on the press. The analysis underscores the significant influence of agrarian newspapers in shaping public opinion and the varying degrees of antisemitism across different publications.

- Keywords:Nuremberg Laws; antisemitism; Sudetenland; racial theories; Nazi policies; Jewish segregation;
- Summary/Abstract:This study investigates the reception of the Nuremberg Laws in the Reichsgau Sudetenland, highlighting the ideological principles of racism, xenophobia, and antisemitism that were implemented following the occupation of Czechoslovakia in October 1938. It discusses the pseudoscientific racial theories used to justify the superiority of the German race and the subsequent anti-Jewish terror that became state policy after the Nazis came to power in 1933. The Nuremberg Laws, enacted in September 1935, aimed to eliminate Jews from public life by distinguishing between "Reich citizens" and "state subjects," with Jews being classified as the latter. The document details the various discriminatory measures, including the prohibition of marriages between Jews and non-Jews, the requirement for Jews to adopt additional names, and the restrictions on their employment and public activities. It also examines the administrative measures taken to identify and segregate Jews, the role of the press in promoting antisemitic propaganda, and the impact of these policies on the Jewish population in the Sudetenland.

- Keywords:Aryanization; food enterprises; Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia; Treuhänder; Jewish businesses; liquidation;
- Summary/Abstract:This text focuses the Aryanization of food enterprises and businesses in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, following the decree by Reich Protector Konstantin von Neurath on June 21, 1939. Jewish businesses were placed under the administration of trustees, known as Treuhänder, who were appointed by the Reich Protector or the Oberlandrat. These trustees had extensive powers to manage the businesses, often leading to their eventual Aryanization or liquidation. The process was driven by economic incentives and the desire to eliminate Jewish influence from the economy. The document highlights the significant interest in these positions due to the financial benefits and opportunities they provided. It also discusses the broader impact of these policies on the Jewish community and the economy of the Protectorate, including the high rate of liquidation of Jewish food businesses. The role of German organizations and individuals in the Aryanization process is also examined, emphasizing the collaboration between the Nazi regime and local authorities.

- Summary/Abstract:This analysis looks into the role of the Extraordinary People's Court in Litoměřice from 1945 to 1948, focusing on the prosecution of crimes committed during the Holocaust and the post-war period. It highlights the challenges in addressing anti-Semitism and Jewish issues in the decisions of post-war retribution courts in the Czech lands. The research project "Jewish Issues and Anti-Semitism in the Light of Retribution Courts (1945-1948)" reveals that the punishment of war crimes against Jews was not a central concern for these courts. The document discusses the varying methods of researchers, the differences in criminal acts against Jews in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia versus the Sudetenland, and the specific legal provisions for crimes against Jews. It also covers the role of Jewish community leaders, the involvement of local collaborators, and the difficulties in achieving justice for Jewish victims. The document underscores the importance of understanding the historical context and the limitations of the retribution courts in addressing Holocaust-related crimes.

- Keywords:Czechoslovakia; Jewish emigration; Israel; antisemitism; Zionist movements; international organizations;
- Summary/Abstract:The analysis looks into the shift in the Czechoslovak government's attitude towards the Jewish community post-1948, particularly focusing on emigration to Israel. Initially, the government supported Jewish emigration, reflecting a friendly relationship with Israel and the Soviet Union's geopolitical stance. However, after the communist takeover, the policy became more restrictive, influenced by rising antisemitism and political changes. The emigration process involved cooperation with international organizations like UNRRA and AJDC, and many Jews emigrated to countries in Latin America and Israel. The document highlights the challenges faced by Jewish emigrants, including bureaucratic obstacles, financial exploitation, and the impact of political shifts on emigration policies. It also discusses the role of Zionist youth movements and the involvement of various government ministries in facilitating or hindering emigration. The document underscores the complex interplay between domestic and international factors in shaping Czechoslovakia's emigration policy towards Jews.

- Summary/Abstract:This study investigates the formation of the Jewish community's self-government in Postoloprty at the end of the 17th century. It highlights the significant increase in the Jewish population due to the arrival of Jewish families from Lower Austria, following Emperor Leopold I's expulsion edict. The newly formed community had to establish organizational and communication mechanisms for its administration. The self-government was based on indirectly elected representatives responsible for maintaining order, collecting taxes, and managing communal finances. The most prestigious position was the reeve (Richter), who had extensive powers and responsibilities. The document also discusses the role of other elected officials, such as the elders and treasurers, in the administration. The synagogue was the center of religious and social life, with the rabbi playing a crucial role. The self-government had to navigate the influence of the local nobility and adapt to the legal and social constraints of the time. The study provides insights into the challenges and dynamics of Jewish communal life in a small town during the early modern period.

- Summary/Abstract:V listopadu 2006 uspořádalo Severočeské muzeum v Liberci ve spolupráci se Židovským muzeem v Praze setkání badatelů zabývajících se dějinami Židů v Cechách. Tento seminář byl jednou z akcí připomínajících v rámci Roku se židovskou kulturou 100. výročí vzniku Židovského muzea. Nemělo by se však jednat o akci jednorázovou. Rádi bychom založili tradici pravidelných pracovních setkání. Na Moravě plní takovou úlohu od roku 1994 každoroční konference pořádaná muzeem v Kroměříži. V Cechách se tuto mezeru pokusilo zaplnit setkání uskutečněné v roce 1999 v Ceském Dubu, nenašlo však následovníky. Po roce 1989 vzrostl počet badatelů, kteří se začali židovskou tematikou zabývat, rozšířil se také okruh zpracovávaných témat. Seminář v Liberci se zaměřil především na dva tematické okruhy: výzkum dějin židovských obcí z území zabraného v říjnu 1938 nacistickým Německem a obecně dějiny Židů v Cechách ve 20. století. Zájem účastníků potvrdil potřebu takovýchto setkávání i účelnost jejich zaměření na novodobou problematiku a otázky pohraničních oblastí.
