Jan Jílovský und Karel Korp – Analyse einer Tragödie in der Presseabteilung der Nationalen Gewerkschaftszentrale der Arbeitnehmer

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on anti-Semitic propaganda emanating from the Press Department of the Czech trades union – NGdA/NOÚZ -- established during the Nazi occupation. After reviewing the ever-increasing Nazi strangle-hold on the Czech trades unions, their print and broadcast media 1939-42, the author examines the true case of Jan Jílovský, a young Jewish man working undercover in the trades unions’ Press Department. The author describes the main propaganda motifs while illuminating the milieu of collaboration and resistance within NGdA/NOÚZ. Analysis of original print and broadcast texts cast light on the media environment of the period. A post-war epilogue is included.
