Juden in den Grenzgebieten: Die Minderheitenpolitik in den Böhmischen Ländern nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the experience of Jews in the borderlands of the Czech lands following World War II. It argues that the massive transformation of the borderlands through the expulsion of the predominantly German population and the settlement of newcomers, mostly Czechs, made it extremely difficult for Jews attempting to reintegrate themselves into their former communities. In particular, local officials discriminated against Jews concerning the return of their citizenship and property. Although anti-Semitism played a role in this discrimination, Jewish experiences fit into a broader pattern of prejudice toward other minorities in the postwar borderlands.
