Hoppe, Jiří

Z nepřátelské do „naší” uniformy. Vojáci wehrmachtu ze Slánska jako dobrovolníci československé zahraniční armády
Maršálek, Zdenko
The study deals with the fate of German Wehrmacht soldiers, who volunteered from the captivity for the Czechoslovak Army-in-exile during the Second World War. The fact that at the end of the war, every third soldier of the Czechoslovak units formed alongside the Allies in Great Britain was a former German soldier, did not respond to the propaganda-shaped image of the resistance in exile, and was therefore marginalised. Colour fates of the men in this group is documented by an example of four soldiers born in the then Slaný district between 1909–1921.

Z historie pokusů o vzdělávání slovenských dětí v ČR ve slovenštině. Slovenština a Slovensko v pražských mezinárodních konferencích středoškoláků
Nosková, Helena
Příspěvek popisuje Slováky v českých zemích od vzniku Československa a jejich vztah ke slovenštině, který také z důvodů chápání příslušnosti k národu českkoslovenskému, složení sociálnímu postavení místních Slováků a jejich přijetí českého prostředí, nebyl vyhraněný. Po roce 1945 početné skupiny Slováků a navrátivších se slovenských krajanů rovněž slovenské školy nepožadovaly. Pouze v centru migrací ze Slovenska – v Karviné – vznikla v roce 1956 Základní škola. Další školy se slovenským vyučování v Praze, včetně osmiletého gymnázia, nenašly žáky. Zaniklo i nepovinné vyučování slovenštiny, které v devedesátých letech organizoval Klub slovenské kultury. Od roku 2004 Dokumentační středisko slovenské menšiny pořádá každým rokem mezinárodní konferenci slovenských středoškolíků a jejich hostů s tematikou Slovenska, jeho historie, kultury, reálií, osobností. Studenti přednášejí své práce ve slovenštině i v češtině. Setkávají se Slováci žijící v ČR, potomci Slováků v ČR, slovenští středoškoláci ze Slovenska. Přínosem je setkávání, poznávaní a znění originální slovenštiny.
