Between expulsion and rescue : the transports for German-speaking Jews of Czechoslovakia in 1946

Postwar Czechoslovak authorities refused to exempt German-speaking Jews from anti-German policies, forcing them to prove their anti-fascist credentials in order to avoid persecution and expulsion. Documents from the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration mission in Czechoslovakia not only shed light on the cases of expelled German-speaking Jews, but also show that many sought to be included on transports because they found conditions in postwar Czechoslovakia unbearable.
