PRAGUE -- American journalist and author Alan Levy died Friday in Prague, according to the English-language newspaper where he was the founding editor in chief. He was 72. Mr. Levy died after "a brief and courageous battle with cancer," The Prague Post said in a statement. He was born in New York City in 1932. After studies at Brown University and Columbia University, where he earned a master's degree in journalism, he won The New Republic's 1957 Young Writer Award for his coverage of the Cuban revolution. Mr. Levy spent seven years in Kentucky as a reporter for the Louisville Courier-Journal before freelancing in New York City for seven years. He and his family moved to Prague in 1967, and he reported on the Russian-led invasion the following year. Mr. Levy captured the events of 1968 in a book called "Rowboat to Prague," published in 1972 and rereleased in 1980 as "So Many Heroes ." His 1974 book "Good Men Still Live!" also deals with the Prague Spring and its aftermath. Czech communist authorities expelled Mr. Levy from the country in 1971. He settled in Vienna, the capital of neighboring Austria, where he worked for publications that included the International Herald Tribune, Life, and New York Times Magazine. After the peaceful revolution led by Vaclav Havel toppled communist rule, Mr. Levy returned to what was then Czechoslovakia in 1990 and helped establish The Prague Post as its editor in chief one year later. Mr. Levy was working as an editor and columnist for the weekly until his death. PCL MS 072 Alan Levy Collection.

Alan Levy, a longtime contributor to the International Herald Tribune and founding editor in chief of The Prague Post, died Friday after a brief battle with cancer, the Prague newspaper announced. He was 72. Levy, an American, was first posted to Prague in 1967 and chronicled the Prague Spring reforms and ensuing Warsaw Pact invasion of 1968 in a book published in the United States in 1972 as "Rowboat to Prague." It was republished in 1980 as "So Many Heroes." In 1975 the book was translated into Czech by 68 Publishers Toronto, owned by Josef and Zdena Skvorecky, and smuggled via visiting émigrés into Czechoslovakia, where it became an underground classic. It was subsequently translated into many other languages. The Communist authorities expelled Levy and his family in 1971, and they took up residence in Vienna, where he wrote for numerous international publications. He and his wife, Valerie, returned to Prague in 1990, shortly after the Velvet Revolution that swept the Communists from power. In 1991, he was hired by the owners of The Prague Post as editor-in-chief to help start the newspaper, an English-language weekly. Levy continued to contribute to The Post in his roles as editor and columnist until his death. His weekly column, "Prague Profile," provided in-depth, personal looks at people, both Czechs and foreigners, who made an impact on the country he had made his home. In the first issue of The Prague Post on Oct. 1, 1991, he wrote, "We are living in the Left Bank of the '90s. For some of us, Prague is Second Chance City; for others a new frontier where anything goes, everything goes, and, often enough, nothing works. Yesterday is long gone, today is nebulous, and who knows about tomorrow, but, somewhere within each of us, we all know that we are living in a historic place at a historic time." Levy, who wrote the story of the Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal in the 1993 book "The Wiesenthal File," was born in New York City on Feb. 10, 1932. He was a graduate of Brown University and the Columbia University School of Journalism. Levy, winner of The New Republic's 1957 Young Writer Award, spent 14 years reporting and writing in Kentucky and New York before moving to Prague.

  • David Roth Thesis
    The American Reaction to the 1968 Warsaw Pact Invasion of Czechoslovakia A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation with research distinction in History in the Undergraduate Colleges of The Ohio State University by David C. Roth The Ohio State University June 2010 Project Advisor: Professor Theodora Dragostinova, Department of History Roth 2 INTRODUCTION August 20, 1968 was a fateful date in the history of Czechoslovakia. That night, armies from the Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary, East Germany, and Bulgaria launched a surprise invasion to suppress the country’s process of liberalization known as “socialism with a human face.” August 20 also was a date of importance to President Lyndon B. Johnson of the United States. The President was making final preparations for a nuclear arms limitation summit meeting with the Soviet leaders that he was going to announce the following day. Throughout his presidency, Johnson had been working to achieve what he hoped would amount to an eventual peace between the Eastern and Western worlds. He made promoting détente a priority, and endeavored to uphold and expand upon an American policy that supported and encouraged freedom and democracy in the East. Now at the end of his term, Johnson was growing more optimistic about achieving a major breakthrough with the Soviet Union. He believed that the conflict in Vietnam was going to tarnish his legacy, and he desperately wanted to end his presidency with a major international success. As it turned out though, the attack on Czechoslovakia forced the postponement and ultimate cancelation of Johnson’s hopes and plans.

  • Newsletter 2004/2
    NEWSLETTER 2004/2 NEW SPACE FOR THE JEWISH MUSEUM’S ARCHIVE AND DEPOSITORY April 2004 saw the completion of the reconstruction of the synagogue in Smíchov-Prague 5, which will be used by the Jewish Museum in Prague for the storage of archive materials and as a depository for its art collections. The Jewish Museum in Prague spends a large part of its funds on the renovation of Jewish monuments. Since October 1994, when it became an independent Jewish institution, it has repaired and reconstructed eight large buildings, both in and outside Prague, including historic synagogues which it uses for exhibitions and specialised activities. The culmination of this work is the repair and reconstruction of the former Smíchov Synagogue, which was founded over 140 years ago. This project was entirely financed by the Jewish Museum in Prague. Throughout its existence the synagogue has undergone several building alterations; what was probably the most extensive reconstruction occurred in 1930. During the Nazi occupation the synagogue was closed down and converted into a warehouse for storing confiscated Jewish property. It was also used as a warehouse during the Communist era from the beginning of the 1950s. After the fall of the Communist regime, the devastated building was returned to the Jewish community in Prague and has been rented to the Jewish Museum in Prague since 1998. The first restoration work on the synagogue was carried out in 1999, but the bulk of the building activity was not undertaken until 2003. This project was financed entirely by the Jewish Museum in Prague with contributions in part from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

  • The Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia and the Crushing of the Prague Spring
    The Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia and the crushing of the Prague Spring [20-08-2003] By Jan Velinger Listen 16kb/s ~ 32kb/s It has been thirty-five years since Soviet troops began entering Czechoslovakia late on August 20th and early August 21st in a carefully orchestrated invasion designed to crush the period of political and economic reforms known as the Prague Spring, reforms led by the country's new First Secretary of the Communist party Alexander Dubcek. A movement viewed by Leonid Brezhnev and other Soviet hard-liners in Moscow as a serious threat to the Soviet Union's hold on the Socialist satellite states, they decided to act. In the first hours on the 21st Soviet planes began to land unexpectedly at Prague's Ruzyne airport, and shortly Soviet tanks would roll through Prague's narrow streets. Within hours foreign troops would take up strategic positions throughout the city, including surrounding the building of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, taking hold of Wenceslas Square, and eventually taking over Czechoslovak radio and television. The occupation of '68 had begun. The tanks roll in Soviet tank in front of the Czechoslovak Radio building, photo: CTK "I was sleeping soundly when a friend from New York called me and said 'Have you evacuated the family?' I answered 'Why should I?' and he said 'Prague has been invaded, the airport has been seized, and the Castle is under Russian control..." American editor Alan Levy was a foreign correspondent in Czechoslovakia in 1968. On August 21st he witnessed some of the first tanks as they steered their way in to the Czech capital.

  • Artists Marginalized by Own Revolution Monday, November 9, 2009 Natalia A
    Artists marginalized by own revolution Monday, November 9, 2009 Natalia A. Feduschak THE WASHINGTON TIMES PRAGUE | Martin Putna stood next to his favorite poster at an exhibit that opened here recently celebrating the life of Vaclav Havel, the Czech playwright and former president who became the face of the peaceful revolution that brought down communist regimes throughout much of Eastern Europe 20 years ago. "Being in power makes me permanently suspicious of myself," reads the caption on the poster, which shows a smiling Mr. Havel sitting on an ornately decorated chair. A tagline notes that Mr. Havel made the statement in 1991, when he was awarded a prize for outstanding contributions to European culture. Artists and other cultural figures played an outsized role in the demise of governments in the old Soviet satellites — a role that has diminished as societies have opened up to a freer interchange of ideas with the rest of the world. Under communism, mimeographed manuscripts known in Russian as "samizdat" or self- published works, passed from hand to hand to avoid the censors. Other works were smuggled out to the West for publication. Western culture, from modern art to heavy- metal music, was coveted forbidden fruit. The catalyst for the Charter 77 movement co-founded by Mr. Havel in 1977 was the arrest of a Czech psychedelic band known as the Plastic People of the Universe. The "velvet" revolution that remade Czechoslovakia in 1989 took its name from the Velvet Underground, a U.S. rock band that was a favorite of Mr. Havel's. The role that culture and literature played in Central and Eastern Europe was "bigger and more important than in the free world," said Mr.

  • The Raul Hilberg Lecture on Reading a Document
    The Raul Hilberg Lecture The University of Vermont November 2, 2005 On Reading a Document: SS-Man Katzmann’s “Solution of the Jewish Question in the District of Galicia” Claudia Koonz Duke University Two “snapshots” of Raul Hilberg provide a glimpse of how this gifted historian worked with documents, the raw material of history. The first is from the late 1940s. Imagine Professor Hilberg as a graduate student beginning research on the Nazi extermination of the Jews at the War Documentation Project. There he stands, pondering 28,000 linear feet of mostly uncatalogued records. Many aspiring historians in this situation would have walked away, accepted their mentor‟s advice, and found a more conventional topic. But this particular historian stayed on (and on), methodically reconstructing the organization of the vast bureaucratic networks that converted a lethal antisemitic vision into a catastrophic fact. For our second glimpse of Professor Hilberg, we don‟t have to imagine, we can move fast forward to the mid-1980s and see him explaining how to read a one-page memo about railroad scheduling in the film Shoah. Speaking to Claude Lanzmann, the director, Hilberg emphasizes how vital it is to read not just its content but every facet of a document. Who wrote it? Who sent it? Who received the original and copies? What is on the subject line? Does it bear a red “TOP SECRET” stamp? Every aspect of a document “incorporates the whole culture and atmosphere of the time.” Administrative efficiency in mass murder or any other large scale operation depends 2 on bureaucrats never pondering the orders they follow.

The subhead began to answer the question: "Only 30 Percent of Austrians Are Without Anti-Jewish Inclinations." A sociological institute based in Linz had used 197 researchers to interview 963 Austrians in one week–concentrating on five true-or-false statements: • • It would be better for Austria to be without Jews. • I would not marry a Jew. • When a Jew does something good, mostly he does it only out of calculation.
