Summary/Abstract: SOUKUPOVÁ, Blanka: Velké a malé českožidovské příběhy z doby intenzivní naděje. Bratislava, Zing Print 2005, 284 stran. (Etnické studie, sv. 2.) The book under review is not the usual treatment of the history of one minority. Rather, it is an integrated collection of historical-ethnological essays about the searching, forms, and changes of the identity of Czech Jews during the First Republic. In the collective stories of Jews the author discusses phenomena such as antisemitism, assimilation, Zionism, national consciousness, Czech patriotism, and Czech Jews’ attitudes towards Tomáš Masaryk.
