  • The Czechoslovak Exiles and Anti-Semitism in Occupied Europe During the Second World War
    WALKING ON EGG-SHELLS: THE CZECHOSLOVAK EXILES AND ANTI-SEMITISM IN OCCUPIED EUROPE DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR JAN LÁNÍČEK In late June 1942, at the peak of the deportations of the Czech and Slovak Jews from the Protectorate and Slovakia to ghettos and death camps, Josef Kodíček addressed the issue of Nazi anti-Semitism over the air waves of the Czechoslovak BBC Service in London: “It is obvious that Nazi anti-Semitism which originally was only a coldly calculated weapon of agitation, has in the course of time become complete madness, an attempt to throw the guilt for all the unhappiness into which Hitler has led the world on to someone visible and powerless.”2 Wartime BBC broadcasts from Britain to occupied Europe should not be viewed as normal radio speeches commenting on events of the war.3 The radio waves were one of the “other” weapons of the war — a tactical propaganda weapon to support the ideology and politics of each side in the conflict, with the intention of influencing the population living under Nazi rule as well as in the Allied countries. Nazi anti-Jewish policies were an inseparable part of that conflict because the destruction of European Jewry was one of the main objectives of the Nazi political and military campaign.4 This, however, does not mean that the Allies ascribed the same importance to the persecution of Jews as did the Nazis and thus the BBC’s broadcasting of information about the massacres needs to be seen in relation to the propaganda aims of the 1 This article was written as part of the grant project GAČR 13–15989P “The Czechs, Slovaks and Jews: Together but Apart, 1938–1989.” An earlier version of this article was published as Jan Láníček, “The Czechoslovak Service of the BBC and the Jews during World War II,” in Yad Vashem Studies, Vol.

  • Two Important Czech Institutions, 1938–1948
    21 Two Important Czech Institutions, 1938 –1948 LUCIE ZADRAILOVÁ AND MILAN PECH 332 Lucie Zadražilová and Milan Pech Lucie Zadražilová (Skřivánková) is a curator at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, while Milan Pech is a researcher at the Institute of Christian Art at Charles University in Prague. Teir text is a detailed archival study of the activities of two Czech art institutions, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague and the Mánes Association of Fine Artists, during the Nazi Protectorate era and its immediate aftermath. Te larger aim is to reveal that Czech cultural life was hardly dormant during the Protectorate, and to trace how Czech institutions negotiated the limitations, dangers, and interferences presented by the occupation. Te Museum of Decorative Arts cautiously continued its independent activities and provided otherwise unattainable artistic information by keeping its library open. Te Mánes Association of Fine Artists trod a similarly-careful path of independence, managing to avoid hosting exhibitions by representatives of Fascism and surreptitiously presenting modern art under the cover of traditionally- themed exhibitions. Tis essay frst appeared in the collection Konec avantgardy? Od Mnichovské dohody ke komunistickému převratu (End of the Avant-Garde? From the Munich Agreement to the Communist Takeover) in 2011.1 (JO) Two Important Czech Institutions, 1938–1948 In the light of new information gained from archival sources and contemporaneous documents it is becoming ever clearer that the years of the Protectorate were far from a time of cultural vacuum. Credit for this is due to, among other things, the endeavours of many people to maintain at least a partial continuity in public services and to achieve as much as possible within the framework of the rules set by the Nazi occupiers.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

  • The Dc-Nazilication Law of 5Th March, 1946, However, Passed for Bavaria
    202 PUNISHMENT OF CRIMINALS “ The Dc-Nazilication Law of 5th March, 1946, however, passed for Bavaria, Greatcr-Hcsse and Wurttcmbcrg-Badcn, provides definite sentences lor punishment in each type of olfencc. The Tribunal recommends that in no case should punishment imposed under Law No. 10 upon any members of an organisation or group declared by the Tribunal to be criminal exceed the punishment lixed by the D enazifica­ tion Law.(') The Dc-Nazilication Law of 5th March, 1946, referred to by the Tribunal, was in force in the United States Zone and, as far as restriction of personal liberty is concerned, its heaviest penalty did not exceed 10 years’ imprison­ ment. There were also provisions for confiscation of property and depriva­ tion of civil rights. As a study of the sentences passed by the United States Military Tribunal in Nuremberg for the crime of membership shows, these Tribunals have in fact followed the recommendation of the International Military Tribunal.^2) It may be also pointed out that for committing crimcs against humanity (a category more recently evolved and recognised as olfcnces than war crimcs), the accused Rothaug, who had been found guilty of no other types of crimcs, was sentenced by the Military Tribunal which conducted the Justicc Trial not to death but to life imprisonment, although many of his victims had suffered dcath.l3) On the other hand the International Military Tribunal sentenced to death Julius Strcichcr after finding him guilty on the one count of crimcs against humanity, which however involved many deaths.(4) It is thought that an interesting study could be made of the different types and degrees of severity of penalties passed on persons found guilty of different ofTcnccs under international law by Courts acting within the limits laid down by that law as to the punishment of criminals.

DOI: 9 Genteel Nationalists: Nobles and Fascism in Czechoslovakia EAGLE GLASSHEIM In the early years of the twentieth century, the Bohemian nobility still occupied the heights of Habsburg society and government. Around 300 families of the high aristocracy owned almost a third of the Bohemian crown lands, not to mention vast investments in finance and industry. Though forced to share power with the emperor and increasingly assertive popular forces, Bohemian nobles regularly served as prime ministers, generals, bishops, and representatives in the upper house of parliament. All this would change in 1918. Weakened by defeat in war and the nationalist demands of its eleven subject peoples, the Habsburg monarchy dissolved as the First World War drew to an end.

  • Jewish Question" 1939-1941
    The Protectorate Government and the "Jewish Question" 1939-1941 Livia Rothkirchen Prior to the end of the war, while still in exile in London, Jaromír Smutný, chef de cabinet of President Dr. Eduard Beneš, already dwelt on the issue of "collaboration." In 1943, he wrote: "The problem of Hácha is as specific as are similar problems of Pétain, Laval, Darlan and other politicians." At the same time, he advised that the judgment should be left to a later date, when these issues could be examined in a broader context and "without passion." 1 Indeed, while the case of Emil Hácha, the Protectorate state president, is described in the historiography as "clear-cut collaboration," the stance of General Alois Eliáš, the premier of the Czech government, remains one of the most intriguing riddles in the history of World War II.2 His unique policy of retardation and "double game," as well his tragic fate are without parallel during the war. Eliáš was the only prime minister to be tried by the Nazis for high treason and executed. The American scholar Stanley Hoffmann, in his perceptive analysis "Self Ensnared, Collaboration with Nazi Germany,"3 discussing the stance of the wartime Vichy government, has come to some overriding conclusions. He distinguishes between two types of collaboration: (1) "State collaboration," i.e., safeguarding interests in interstate relationships between the defeated state and the victor; and (2) collaborationism with the Nazis, in an openly willful cooperation and imitation of the German regime [which in effect meant voluntary activity], either in a drive for career 1 This is a revised and expanded version of a paper delivered at an international conference in Ostrava in 1994; see "Motivy a zámĕr protektorátní vlády v řešení židovské otázky," in Ludmila Nesládková, ed., Nisko 1939/1940; The Case Nisko in the History of the Final Solution of the Jewish Problem," Proceedings, International Academic Conference (Nisko 1939/1940) (Ostrava: Facultas Philosophica Universitatis Ostraviensis, 1995), pp.

In November 1914, Turkey sided with the Central Powers; in 1915, Italy joined the Allies. 4/24/1915 The Armenian Genocide In the first year of World War I, in the course of war between Turkey and Russia in the Armenian provinces of Turkey, the Turks questioned the Armenians' loyalties and drove them out of their homes. At least 1 million Armenians, about half of the Armenian population in Turkey, were murdered in the expulsion by the Turks. 11/2/1917 Balfour Declaration The British Foreign Secretary, Lord Arthur James Balfour, proclaimed Britain's support of the creation of a national home for the Jews in Palestine. This declaration, given after British forces had already taken control of the southern part of Palestine and were about to occupy its north, transformed the Zionist vision into a political program that seemed attainable. 11/7/1917 Communist Revolution in Russia In response to Russia's defeat on the front, Czar Nicholas II was dethroned in a revolution in March 1917 and a new government of mixed liberal-conservative complexion came into being. As political deadlock and defeats on the front continued, the socialists gained in popularity and their radical wing, the Bolshevik party, under Lenin, called for immediate peace and apportionment of land to the peasants.

  • Sborník Z Konference „1989–2009: Společnost – Dějiny – Politika“
    SBORNÍK Z KONFERENCE „1989–2009: SPOLEČNOST – DĚJINY – POLITIKA“ Reflexe dvacátého výročí událostí listopadu a prosince 1989 se celkem pochopitelně většinou pohybují v prostoru mezi vzpomínáním na to, jak zvláštně a překvapivě se onen velký zlom odehrál, a mezi rozčarováním nad současnou kvalitou české demokracie. Proč se ale naopak nesoustředit na aspekty a oblasti, které se měnily jen velmi pozvolna, a na nově vzniklé jevy či instituce, které i přes svou novost vězely svými kořeny v minulosti? Právě tuto perspektivu sledovala konference „1989-2009: Společnost – Dějiny - Politika“, na níž se v září 2009 sešli badatelé a badatelky v oblasti historiografie a sociálních věd z České republiky, Slovenska, Maďarska, Německa, Francie, Británie a USA. Poodstoupením od tázání po „vyrovnání se s komunistickou minulostí“ vznikl velmi bohatý a plastický obraz konce komunismu a začátku nové éry české demokracie se všemi jejich předpoklady, iluzemi, přesahy a kontinuitami. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Úvod Adéla Gjuričová Elektronický sborník, který právě otvíráte, nabízí většinu toho nejzajímavějšího, co zaznělo na konferenci „1989–2009: Společnost. Dějiny. Politika“ konané v polovině září 2009 v Liblicích. Během konference se projevila shoda na tom, že při dvacátém výročí roku 1989 je třeba namísto svolávání velkých jmen posunout perspektivu tázání od soustředěnosti na moment „sametové revoluce“ ke sledování kontinuit s předcházejícím obdobím i lety následujícími. Toto porozumění bylo celkem nepochybně sdíleno mladší generací historiků a sociálních vědců, na konferenci nejsilněji zastoupenou, ale i několika „velkými jmény“, která přijela a nakonec v plénu strávila oba konferenční dny (např. Petr Pithart a Jacques Rupnik), a také hlavními pořadateli – Ústavem pro soudobé dějiny AV ČR, Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Praha a Goethe-Institutem Praha.
