Abstract

After the forced shutdown of Czech universities on 17 November 1939, three groups were affected, differing in their social status, professional position, and age structure: 1. students, 2. professors and other teaching staff, and 3. administrators with assisting personnel. While the students were declared enemies of the Nazi régime en bloc, being treated as such (internment in the concentration camp Sachsenhausen, liquidation of students’ associations with embezzlement of their property etc.), the fate of the others was dissimilar to some extent. Nevertheless, there was one common feature, which was their prevailing outplacement in other Protectorate institutions. This paper attempts to quantitatively zoom in this transfer on the example of the oldest and most important Czech university, Charles University in Prague.
