Abstract:
This introduction summarises the rationale for this ‘national’ special issue devoted to thehistory of the Holocaust in the Bohemian lands. It discusses the legacy of the historian Miroslav Kárný and the historiographic pause and disorientation following his death in 2001.Before summarising the articles, it analyses the recent polarisation of historiographic debates with regard to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. It tackles disputes around thelocal, or Czech, entanglement in the persecution of Roma and Sinti and around comparisonswith the genocide of Jews. It discusses the attacks on research that critically challenges common assumptions about Czech solidarity with Jews and the one-sided, top-down approachto the history of the Holocaust in the Protectorate.
