Summary/Abstract: Review of: Salner, Peter a Bumová, Ivica. Politika a komunita: štát a židia na Slovensku v rokoch 1945-1992. 1. edition. Bratislava: Ústav etnológie a sociálnej antropológie Slovenskej akadémie vied, v.v.i., 2024. 246 pages. Etnologické štúdie; 60. ISBN 978-80-569-1192-1. This review discusses a monograph examining the relationship between the Slovak state and its Jewish community from 1945 to 1992. The review notes that while the Holocaust is a frequently studied topic, research during the communist era was not entirely suppressed, as sometimes assumed. The author highlights the accelerating research on the Holocaust in the past three decades, moving from a focus on political events to social histories and perspectives from below. The review emphasizes the monograph's contribution to this ongoing scholarship by examining the complexities of this relationship during a crucial period of Slovak history.
