Bohemia and Moravia; today part of the Czech Republic; was the first territory with a majority of non-German speakers occupied by Hitler's Third Reich on the eve of the World War II. Tens of thousands of Jewish inhabitants in the so called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia soon felt the tragic consequences of Nazi racial politics. Not all Czechs; however; remained passive bystanders during the genocide. After the destruction of Czechoslovakia in 1938-39; Slovakia became a formally independent but fully subordinate satellite of Germany. Despite the fact it was not occupied until 1944; Slovakia paid Germany to deport its own Jewish citizens to extermination camps. About 270;000 out of the 360;000 Czech and Slovak casualties of World War II were victims of the Holocaust. Despite these statistics; the Holocaust vanished almost entirely from post-war Czechoslovak; and later Czech and Slovak; historical cultures. The communist dictatorship carried the main responsibility for this disappearance; yet the situation has not changed much since the fall of the communist regime. The main questions of this study are how and why the Holocaust was excluded from the Czech and Slovak history.

Amazing educational; book!By FrecklesVery informational; more than I expected it tells the story and history of the aircraft and talks about and tells you the specifics of the aircraft.The only thing was that it was not organized by country; one minute it was a French plane the next; an Italian plane; but with amount info it gives; it easily makes up for itself. The first three stars are because of the informational aspect. The next two are to represent the enjoyment I got from this book. I would recommend it to any person interested in ww2; military and History.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great for RememberingBy Susan RobinsonMy husband loved it.
