Bohemia and Moravia, today part of the Czech Republic, was the
first territory with a majority of non-German speakers occupied by
Hitler's Third Reich on the eve of the World War II. Tens of
thousands of Jewish inhabitants in the so called Protectorate of
Bohemia and Moravia soon felt the tragic consequences of Nazi
racial politics. Not all Czechs, however, remained passive
bystanders during the genocide. After the destruction of
Czechoslovakia in 1938-39, Slovakia became a formally independent
but fully subordinate satellite of Germany. Despite the fact it was
not occupied until 1944, Slovakia paid Germany to deport its own
Jewish citizens to extermination camps. About 270,000 out of the
360,000 Czech and Slovak casualties of World War II were victims of
the Holocaust. Despite these statistics, the Holocaust vanished
almost entirely from post-war Czechoslovak, and later Czech and
Slovak, historical cultures. The communist dictatorship carried the
main responsibility for this disappearance, yet the situation has
not changed much since the fall of the communist regime. The main
questions of this study are how and why the Holocaust was excluded
from the Czech and Slovak history.
