Description
This book describes the lives of Czech Jews between 1939 and 1945 in the context of racial legislation, including not only laws issued by the German Reich but also those enacted by the Protectorate government. It reveals the active role of the Protectorate government, self-governing organisations and local authorities in anti-Jewish policy, challenging the myth that the Protectorate government resisted pressure from the Nazi occupiers to issue anti-Jewish regulations. Instead, it documents the government’s readiness to implement its own anti-Jewish policy and exposes the motives behind the exclusion of Jews from legal practice, medicine and other professions soon after 15 March 1939. The book also presents specific stories of victims of the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” in the Protectorate and examines the varied attitudes of the population towards the fate of the Jews, from denunciation and collaboration to courage and resistance to evil. The contents are in Czech.
