This volume analyses the image of 'the Jew' as it developed and transformed in both Czech and Slovak society under the nondemocratic regimes of the twentieth century. It is the first serious attempt to offer a comparative analysis of anti-Jewish prejudices in the Czech and Slovak mindset between 1938 and 1989.
