Hlavní stránka » pages » Departments » History of the Second World War, occupation and resistance section »
This section focuses on Czechoslovak history between 1938 and 1945. In a broader context, it examines selected themes concerning the history of the Protectorate of Böhmen und Mähren, the home resistance movements, exile foreign policy and the history of the Czechoslovak army units. Where appropriate, it also looks at the general history of the Second World War.
The results of the research are presented in the form of material and of monographic studies. A significant part of the activity of the section is the preparation of editions of documents pertaining to the occupation, or the Protectorate, together with those relating to the Czechoslovak exile. Some of this research is funded by grants and the work itself is carried out in cooperation with other centres concentrating on history.
Employees of this section, besides giving lectures at universities, are involved in organizing conferences and seminars. They also devote their attention to the dissemination of new academic knowledge by cooperating with the media, educational institutions and various interest associations for which they provide consultations and thematic lectures.
