P.1INA8 I was born in zechoslovakia on Fanuary 3, 1945 in a town called Tabor in southern Bohemia which was the seat of the Hussites in the 15th century. Q: I always think of the Hussites and their armored vehicles. That)s quite a legacy. What do you know about your family on your father)s side? P.1INA8 I see myself as a product of 20th,century entral .uropean history. My father owned a lumber mill in southern Bohemia started by his grandfather in the 19th century. It was a fairly large enterprise that e9ported lumber all the way to (ermany and throughout entral .urope in the inter,war period. He was thus considered a capitalist by ommunists, which came into play after Aorld Aar II. On my mother's side, her father was a civil servant in Bohemia. He was also trained as a lawyer and served as a type of deputy mayor in the town of Tabor. He was during Aorld Aar II one of the many zechs e9ecuted following the assassination in 1942 of 1einhard Heydrich, the head of the (erman occupation of Bohemia and the most senior Nazi successfully assassinated during the war. The well,known destruction of the town of Lidice was one part of the retaliation for HeydrichGs death but in fact thousands of people 4 throughout the country were e9ecuted as well. The (ermans targeted public figures and those suspected of being zech nationalists. My grandfather, as a representative of the town government, and his brother who had been a military officer in the zech army, were arrested within days of HeydrichGs death. They were e9ecuted by firing sEuad on Fune 10, 1942. About 180 other people from Tabor were also e9ecuted over the course of the ne9t few weeks. My mother was 17 years old at the time and learned of her fatherGs and uncleGs e9ecution through the newspapers. It was a defining e9perience for the rest of her life. Q: Would you talk a little more about the town of Tabor and how far back it goes. Where did the town fit into Bohemian history? I don)t know much about that area. P.1INA8 Aell, the name Tabor comes from Mount Tabor, which is referred to in the Bible. The town was founded by the Hussites in the early 1400Gs. The Hussite movement was really a type of religious uprising by followers of Fan Hus who was a precursor of Luther in criticism of hurch corruption. He was invited to meet with representatives of the Pope at the ouncil of onstance in 1415. Though guaranteed safe passage, he was in fact arrested and burned at the stake as a heretic. This sparked other social and ethnic tensions of the declining feudal order and led to a kind of peasant uprising against the hurch and the establishment. The rebellion gained momentum and led to what is known as the Hussite Aars. All of this was, of course, more comple9 than I am making it sound here. The most famous leader of the Hussites was a fellow named Fan Hizka, and it was his followers who established this town of Tabor. He was a brilliant military commander who defeated Papal armies across Bohemia despite eventually losing both eyes in battle. Tabor is very identified with this history and with Fan Hizka, whose statue is on the main sEuare. My motherGs side of the family moved there from the Pilsen region after Aorld Aar I. My fatherGs side of the family, as far as I know, had been in Tabor much further back. Q: Sudetenland or not? P.1INA8 No. It was outside the Sudetenland. It was part of Bohemia and then it became part of the Bohemian Protectorate established by the (ermans. Q: ,iven the Hussite history, was this a Protestant area? What was your family? P.1INA8 Following the Battle of the Ahite Mountain in 1220 when the Hapsburgs defeated the Bohemian forces, there was a counter, 1eformation and most of the country was re, atholicized. So most zechs are atholic but not very good atholics. The hurch does not have the standing that it does in Poland, for e9ample. This applies to my family. Ae were technically atholic but not practicing atholics or particularly devout. Q: What about the education of both your mother and father? P.1INA8 My father was raised to inherit the family lumber business as was the custom 5 of the time. That's why he had the same name as his father, and I'm actually the third 1udolf Perina because it was assumed that I would take over the business someday. My father was educated as a lawyer which is what one studied to go into business. He had a doctor of law degree from Prague University. He grew up in this little village outside of Tabor called Plana nad Luznici where the lumber mill was located on a river bank. Most timber at the time was transported by waterways. My mother studied at a Prague vocational school for secretaries and clerical workers. That is where she was when she learned that her father had been arrested. My mother actually studied some .nglish in this school. My father knew more (erman and Latin, which did not help much later in America. Q: .bviously, you were born in 1012 which was sort of a critical time at the end of the war. How did things go during the war? Then we)ll talk about the Soviet occupation which obviously you didn)t e3perience but you were hearing about. P.1INA8 Aell, during the war my father was allowed to continue operating his business because the (ermans wanted it to continue as a source of lumber and wood. He was able to continue operating, though under all the rules of the Protectorate. My mother's family was in a much more difficult situation because when the father was e9ecuted the family was also condemned to confiscation of property. She had horrible stories of how a carload of soldiers came with a truck to the house a few days after my grandfather had been e9ecuted. They went through the house and took anything of value8 pictures, jewelry, the radio, pieces of furniture etc. They left the family with minimal necessities to survive. This was a family of two daughters and two sons, a mother and four children. They were allowed to stay in the house but they lost title to it, and they were moved to the upstairs of the house, with a (erman family moving into the first floor.

URL: http://tiny.cc/AR813 Review by Molly Geidel, University of Manchester his is a fascinating and timely collection of articles on sport and diplomacy, focusing most closely on how athletics met Cold War maneuvering in the 1970s. Along with a brief introduction by editors T Hallvard Notaker, Giles Scott-Smith, and David J. Snyder, Anne Blaschke provides a nuanced account of how track athletes came to represent U.S. interests during the Cold War and began to resist their status as national symbols; Scott Laderman traces the convergences of surfing and international diplomacy in Japan and Indonesia; Joseph Eaton carefully considers how Asian leaders and diplomats leveraged their participation in the 1980 Olympic boycott to improve relations with the United States and otherwise achieve varying diplomatic goals; and John Soares convincingly argues that Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s administration used hockey diplomacy to demonstrate a degree of distance from the United States and closeness to the Soviet Union. The section also contains two fascinating commentaries. Mario Del Pero considers the range of relationships the articles suggest between athletic contests and international relations, while Shanon Fitzpatrick draws attention to important themes.
