Publisher's summary

History of Jews in the Czech Lands delves into the rich and complex history of the Jewish people in the Czech lands, spanning from their earliest settlements to the end of the 19th century. This comprehensive work, translated into English for the first time by Kytka Hilmarova, offers listeners a meticulous account of the Jewish experience in the region from the years 900 to 1900.

Throughout the audiobook, the challenges and struggles faced by the Jewish community are brought to light, including enduring persecution, discrimination, and violence in Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. By exploring the intricate relationships between Jews and non-Jews over time, this audiobook provides valuable historical insights into the role of Jews in the Czech lands within the broader context of European history.

History of Jews in the Czech Lands is an important translation of the renowned work, Zidé v zemích Českých, originally written in 1899 by Václav Řezniček. With this translation, listeners gain access to previously untold perspectives, making it a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of Jews in Europe, particularly within the Czech lands.

Kytka Hilmarova's personal introduction and conclusion add depth and context to the translated work, paying homage to the indomitable spirit of David Szajnzycht, a figure whose life was marked by immense suffering and unwavering resilience. The translation stands as a tribute to the vibrant Jewish communities that thrived in Prague and other regions of Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia, celebrating their rich cultural heritage, triumphs, and unwavering determination to establish a sense of belonging and acceptance. Above all, it serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst the darkest chapters of history, seeds of hope and the pursuit of a more just world must be nurtured through understanding, compassion, and unwavering dedication.

Note: Czech names in this description are intentionally shown without punctuation or diacritical marks (such as Václav Řezníček), as these characters may be lost or distorted on certain devices.
