Úvod
Zudová-Lešková, Zlatica
For the first time in the Czech history there was an international conference on the resistance of the Czechoslovak Jews during 1939 to 1945, which proved that the Jews, in spite of their fate envisaged by the "Final Solution", managed to oppose and participated significantly in the anti-nazi resist movement.

"Jewish craft" Ethnic and religious specifics of potash making in Bohemia in the 18th century
Woitsch, Jiří
The article deals with specific characteristics of early-modern potash industry in Bohemia. Potash making was typical by an absolute dominance of Jews among tenants of potasheries, potash making workers as well as among potash dealers. Reasons were those of contemporary governmental and legal conditions and economic interests of nobles. Also high motivation of Jews towards potash making business should be taken in consideration. Thus potash making was even in the 18th century called "Jewish craft" and belonged to the most important Jewish trades in Bohemia

Issue of Article 10 of Retribution Decree Nr. 16/1945 (taking Advantage of Racial Persecution for Personal Enrichment) on the Basis of Cases of the Special People's Courts in Prague and Litoměřice
Bednařík, Petr
Special People's Courts (1945-47) had to adress a number of cases, in which a Jew did not get back property from a neighboring Czech after the WW II. The Czechs would often try to explain why, for various reasons, the items in question disappeared. Excuses included confiscation by the Gestapo, and thefts of the items from the hiding place etc. Such claims were not very convincing. The Jewish owner (or his relatives in the event that the owner had not survived) had no witness who could confirm that he had actually handed the items to the Czech person for safekeeping during the occupation. The Jews, however, had no witness at all and, therefore, the Special People's Courts had to acquit the accused. We have reason to believe that a number of people, who used racial persecution for personal enrichment, were not after the war properly punished.

Bednařík, Petr

He came back from the exile in England after the WW II and as a Czech citizen - Jew he applied for the restitution his factory in the town Varnsdorf in northern Bohemia. According to law this restitution was certified by the court but Revolutionary Trade Unions and Communist Party organized the strike of works against its enforcement. The paper deals with kinds of reports about the strike and the enquitry in Czech press. It is shown that the leftist press created the Beer's negative image when some statements were suppressived purposely or were not indicated exactly.
