Was the antisemitic propaganda a catalyst for tensions in the Slovak-Jewish relations?

ABSTRACTThe aim of the paper is to rethink the efficacy of the antisemitic propaganda and its role for the political regime of the Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party in Slovakia, in particular with reference to the period of 1938–42. An analysis of specific media campaigns, covering the Aryanization process or the 1938 and 1942 deportations, explores various strategies and methods used by the Propaganda Office. The article also evaluates the alleged pressure of Nazi Germany on the institutionalization and everyday practices of journalists and propagandists in Slovakia. Wartime antisemitic propaganda was systematically aiming at the Slovak majority society, even though studies by other authors have doubted its impact on the public opinion.

Waist Circumference-to-Height Ratio Detected in a Convenient Sample of Young Slovak People with Increased Cardio-Metabolic Risk.

Cardiovascular disease is a serious problem increasingly affecting young people worldwide. Cardio-metabolic risk factors include lipid profile parameters and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), as well as basic anthropometric parameters such as the ratio of waist circumference to height (WHtR). The aim of our study was to determine WHtR. WHtR was determined in a group of 500 clinically healthy young people aged 18-25 and, on the basis of measured data, a reference range for WHtR was designed. The average WHtR value for the whole group was 0.45±0.06, with 0.46±0.06 for men, and 0.44±0.06 for women. WHtR values in respondents with all other parameters in normal range were from 0.41 to 0.52 for men and from 0.38 to 0.50 for women. Values are similar to those observed in other studies across diverse world populations. A positive correlation was observed between WHtR and atherogenic indices (AP1, AIP) uric acid levels and lipid profile parameters at p<0.001, with the exception of glucose and HDL. WHtR and HDL were negatively correlated at p<0.001. As WHtR can be easily determined, it can be used as another cardio-metabolic risk factor.

Youth Eco Activism in Slovakia: Case of Wolf – Forest Protection Movement

Abstract The study deals with the activism of young Slovak people on the field of ecology and conservation of Slovak nature. As an example of this kind of activism Wolf - Forest Protection Movement was selected because it is the most active and most successful environmental organization in Slovakia. The main objective of this case study is to describe and analyse organisational structure and activities of Wolf on the background of wider general and theoretical framework what enables to classify this organisation in wide spectrum of youth activism, especially youth environmental activism in Slovakia. Apart from theoretical approach, organisational structure and broad range of activities of Wolf the study presents also political and civic attitudes of its young members, financing of the organisation and attractiveness of Wolf to young people in Slovakia.

Priest, Politician, Collaborator: Jozef Tiso and the Making of Fascist Slovakia by James Mace Ward (review)

Reviewed by: Priest, Politician, Collaborator: Jozef Tiso and the Making of Fascist Slovakia by James Mace Ward Thomas Anselm Lorman Priest, Politician, Collaborator: Jozef Tiso and the Making of Fascist Slovakia. By James Mace Ward. (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press. 2013. Pp. xiv, 362. $39.95. ISBN 978-0-8014-4988-8.) For a Catholic historian, a consideration of the career of Father Jozef Tiso poses an exceptional challenge. Able, intelligent, devoted to his clerical duties (he continued to minister to his parishioners even after his appointment as president and “leader” of the wartime Slovak state), Tiso is one of the rare cases of a serving priest who became the leader of his country. He should, therefore, have been an exemplary figure in the Church’s struggle to respond to the rise of socialism, atheism, unfettered capitalism, and the secularization of modern society by a re-engagement with society. As the author of this superb biography makes clear, however, Tiso perverted this struggle with his chauvinistic nationalism, his own (dubious) interpretations of Catholic theology, and the relentless pursuit of political power. He established a quasi-totalitarian regime with fascist characteristics, collaborated with Nazi Germany, expelled the bulk of Slovak Jewry to its slaughter, and brought lasting shame on the Church and Slovak Catholic nationalism. Some Slovak Catholic historians have always found this verdict impossible to accept. Émigré Slovak historians lauded Tiso as a hero who had finally fulfilled the Slovak people’s desire for an independent state, had guarded this independence against the expansionist goals of Nazi Germany, had resisted efforts by his radical fascist rivals to seize power, and was always guided by his commitment to Christian morality and Catholic social teaching. After the fall of communism, a new wave of historians in Slovakia took up the struggle for Tiso’s rehabilitation, albeit with limited success. This biography, the product of exhaustive research and an extensive familiarity with existing scholarship, should put an end to such revisionist efforts. Tiso, an ethnic Slovak who was raised, educated, and entered the priesthood in the hypernationalist atmosphere of late-Habsburg Hungary, initially showed little fervor for the cause of Slovak nationalism. Instead, his mind-set was molded by the rigorous education he encountered in the seminaries he attended, including [End Page 172] the elite Pazmaneum in Vienna. Indeed, this biography offers the finest account available in English of the experience of young seminarians in Hungary at the beginning of the twentieth century. At the Pazmaneum, Tiso developed a lifelong attachment to the neo-Thomist/neo-Scholastic school of Catholic philosophy that manifested itself in the political arena with the emergence of “Christian Social” parties inspired by the call for a new spirit of Catholic “activism” that emanated from the encyclicals of Popes Leo XIII and Pius XI. In 1918, however, as the Habsburg Monarchy disintegrated following its defeat in World War I, Tiso eagerly participated in the Slovak nationalists’ campaign to break away from Hungary and join a new Czechoslovak state. He joined the Slovak People’s Party, which sought to defend Slovakia’s Catholic heritage against the centralizing and secularizing tendencies of the new Czechoslovak government; giving full vent to a ferocious display of antisemitism and then downplaying his hostility to the Jews when politically expedient, Tiso rose through the ranks of his party, displaying an absolute loyalty to the party leader, his fellow priest Andrej Hlinka; exhibiting a natural flair for organization and propaganda, and cultivating a reputation as a moderate—he was even briefly appointed government minister for health from 1927 to 1929. Following Hlinka’s death in 1938, Tiso assumed the leadership of the party and proceeded to exploit deftly the Munich crisis, which handed over the Czechoslovak Sudetenland, to obtain substantial autonomy for Slovakia, which he immediately exploited to establish a one-party state. When he was informed in March 1939 that Germany was determined to invade the rump Czechoslovak state, he proclaimed Slovakia’s independence, legitimizing Hitler’s invasion. The price paid for that independence was considerable. The German army was granted freedom of movement in western Slovakia; German businesses took control of an increasing share of the Slovak economy; and German advisers became an influential...

Четверть века после “бархатной революции”: как живете, словаки?

The article considers changes in most important areas of Slovak society after 1989: dynamics of social stratification, family values, religiosity, leisure activities, voting behavior and preferences, democratic participation. The aim is to examine the contemporary position of Slovakia between the East and the West European civilization systems after two waves of social transformation in the middle and at the end of the 20th century, considering the accelerated change of the underdeveloped agrarian social structure into the industrial type under the "real socialism". However, at the beginning of the 21st century Slovak settlements still retain a strong rural character. As a result of market reforms and westernization a large part of the countryside tremble in the balance, processes of depopulation and formation of excluded social groups take place especially in small municipalities. Further still, in the context of increasing migration from cities to countryside more and more rural patterns of thinking extend to urban environments. The primarily important urban-rural line of societal differentiation, perceptions, attitudes and voters decision-making process are analyzed on base of Slovak sociologists' research. They discovered the phenomenon of historic “embedding” of the party type gaining the voters' support and commitment to one-party system, starting from the Inter-War Period till present. Slovakia represents the case of the weak left-right party profiling and inclination to various “parties of collective identity”. Definitive significance of ethnicity and religion as divisions in mass political orientations, traditionally characterized by the emphasis on leftist orientations, social rights and value of nation are shown in the paper. According to results of the latest socio-empiric studies in the country, most people in Slovakia (mainly the so called “loosers”) did not adopt neoliberal, Western-type path of development, regarding the existing inequalities as too large, and preferring social equality in a society of poor to social differentiation in a society of abundance. Social rights are estimated by the majority of Slovak people higher than political rights now.

Czy mit poddaje się parodii? Pacho, hybský zbojník (1975) Martina Ťapáka

Pacho, the Brigand of Hybe (dir. Martin Ťapák, 1975) was announced in the press as the first truly Slovak comedy. In fact, it is a parody of the theme of brigands. Brigands’s topic was present in the Slovak cinema from its origins. From the first story Jánošík (1921) to the superproduction under the same title made by Paľo Bielik (1962–1963), the problem has always expressed the idea of freedom of the ever subdued, tormented Slovak people. Pacho, as a parody refers not only – or not so much – to the legend of brigands, as to the superproduction directed by Bielik, the giant of Slovak film history.

Slovanski miti o Evropi kot oblika dialoga z Zahodom (primer Češke in Slovaške)

The study deals with myths which feature in literary communication between Western Europe and the Slavic East. Slavic peoples and the West carried on a continual dialogue – a process of moving closer and further apart – with a special role being occupied by the Slavs living in the Habsburg Empire. The paper highlights the contribution of Krejčí, a prominent Czech scholar in the field of Slavonic studies, who pointed out that Slavic fictions often reflected or in turn became part of historical reality. For example in the Slovak case, an ideology – based on L. Štúr‘s Das Slawenthum und die Welt der Zukunft (1851) – developed, which, though a tendentious myth, influenced the formation of Slovak national identity. In his political testament Štúr made an attempt to define the »goal« of Slovak history against the background of European development. According to Štúr, the future of the Slovak people lay in political union with Russia, in adopting the Cyrillic alphabet and the Orthodox Church, and in the rejection of materialistic Western values. Štúrian tradition, may have, as a myth strengthened national self-confidence, but at the same time it meant cutting ties with Western European culture and civilisation, and as a result led to the rejection of the idea of Europe as cultural unity comprising distinct but mutually influencing regions.

Slovakia: From Samo to Dzurinda by Peter A. s&gt; Toma Dušan Kováč (review)

REVIEWS 553 This collection includes much useful information on English and Scottish travellersin Hungary (John Smith, Lithgow, Poyntz, even Pocock)up to the nineteenth century when Richard Bright and Julia Pardoe informed curious readersabout the situation in that country. The latter described a concert by FerencLisztin Pestin I840 which ended in general acclaim and the donation of a sword to the great pianist. But Festwas also interestedin less important travellers as well -few people would have heard of the Scottish Andrew A. Patonwho describednot only the capitalbut alsoDebrecen and Szeged, or Jane Emily Gerard whose TheLandBeyond theForest (i888) is a sympathetic account of her life in Transylvania.This collection includes articleson these and many other Englishmen and Scotsmen interested in the Kingdom of Hungary. Sandor Fest died in 1944 but the Chair in English at Debrecen existsto this day and (asKoltay-Kastnerwrote about him some yearsafterhis death) 'thereis hardlyany scholarof Englishstudies[. . .] who would not have learnedfromhim'. Apartfrombeing a conscientiousscholar,SandorFestwas also an outstandingteacherof a whole generation. DaviwnCollege, Cambridge GEORGE GOMORI Toma, PeterA. and Kovac, Dugan.

HOOVER Institution Press make grand claims for Peter Toma and Dugan Kova's book. The backcover declareshistoricalaccountsof Slovakiaand the Slovak people have often been 'either sketchy, romanticized versions of a pastoral society or nationalistic, exaggerated exaltations of the past'; in contrast the publishers claim Slovakia: FromSamoto Dzurindaoffers a 'true history of the Slovak people without prejudice'. Potential readers, however, should not let such ludicrous assertions put them off reading Toma and Kovac's informativeaccount of Slovakhistory. The book, part of a Studies of Nationalities series which includes Charles King's TheMloldovans: Romania,Russia,and thePoliticsof Culture (2000) and Andrejs Plakans's The Latvians.A ShortHistory(1995), provides a clear introduction to Slovak history.

Given the furore over the publication of Milan Durica's DejinySlovenska a Slovdkov(Bratislava, 1995), and the criticisms levelled at Stanislav Kirschbaum'sAHistory ofSlovakia: TheStrugglefor Survival (New York,I996), the litmustestof anybook examining Slovakhistoryisitstreatmentof the wartime period. Toma and Kova offera balanced account of Slovakiabetween 939 and 1945. The Tiso state is heavily criticized for its complicity in the Holocaust/Shoah, but the authors also highlight the benefits, particularlyin terms of employment opportunities, accorded to Slovaks thanks to the 554 SEER, 8i, 3, 2003 expulsion of 20,000 Czech state employees in addition to the 'exclusion of the Jewish population from the Slovak economy' (p. I26). Moreover, whilst the wartime resistance and the Slovak National Uprising are treated in some depth, there is no attempt to romanticize an iconic period in Slovak history. It was not just the Nazis, but also Slovak resistance fighters who committed 'inhumane acts of brutality and murder' during the Second World War (P. 146). Two criticisms, however, deserve to be levelled at the book. Firstly, the subtitle is badly chosen. As the authors themselves point out, Samo was neither a Slovak (he was a Frankish merchant), nor did he unify the Slovaks, but rather 'created the first historically known tribal union of Slavs' in the seventh century (p. 4). To put both Samo and current Slovak Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda's names in the subtitle smacks more of the need for a catchy subtitle than good history. Secondly, the book lacks a bibliography or at least a guide for further reading. The inquisitive reader is left, therefore, to follow up the authors' notes. Although these are on the whole helpful, the omission of references to the two best books on the Prague Spring, Gordon Skilling's Czechoslovakia's Interrupted Revolution(Princeton, NJ, I976) and Kieran Williams s ThePragueSpringandItsAftermath (Cambridge, 1997), was striking. A single volume which attempts to span a period longer than a millennium is inevitably forced to lean more towards brevity than detail when discussing historical events. No doubt specialists on particular periods will be frustrated by the lack of depth and...

Transition in the Baltic States: Microlevel Studies by Neil s&gt; Hood Jan-Erik Vahlne Robert Kilis (review)

784 SEER, 79, 4, 200 I respondents were unable to judge the wartime state unequivocally, which supports Cohen's argument that ignorance and ambivalence rather than commitment are the sources of trouble in post-Communist Slovakia; what these data show that Cohen does not, however, is that the Slovak people cannot be presented as an undifferentiated mass. Gallup-method polls conducted by the Communist authoritiesin the I970s and I98os were already turningup a manifold Slovakia,cleftmore deeply than Bohemia and Moravia into socialists,Catholics, liberalsand 'bourgeoispragmatists'. Instead, and this is thirdflaw in the book, the profound divisionsin Slovak society are papered over, and the reader is told about a de'classè mob that gravitates to Meciar and leaves the handful of idealistic democrats and hardcore nationalistson the fringes.We are not reminded, for example, that electoral support for Meciar's HZDS peaked in I992 at 37 per cent and declined to 35 per cent in 1994 and then 27 per cent in i998. HZDS thus never even came close to winning the support of a majorityof Slovakvoters and had to govern either in a minority or an ever-fractiouscoalition. The outstandingwork of Slovak sociologistshas shown that Meciar's supportwas concentrated in particular areas of the country and segments of society, because the process of modernization has created a highly varied political geography. Cohen does not takethis into account, because herversion of how history and values were imparted to Slovaks over the Communist decades relies on a reading of school textbooks,which assumesa uniformimpact via a uniformcurriculum;herastuteobservationsaboutignoranceand ambivalence should have been applied more accurately and judiciously to sub-groups rather than to the nation as an indiscriminate whole. A reader of Cohen's book not familiar with the country would be hard pressed to reconcile her picture of Slovakiawith that conveyed by the resultsof the I998 election, in which voters, encouraged by a dynamic civil society, overwhelminglyrejected Me'iar and his 'mass-elite'on a turnoutof 84 per cent.

TRANSITION IN THE BALTIC STATES is a wide-ranging and useful addition to the post-communist transitionbookshelf. Consisting of papers delivered at a conference entitled Micro-level Studies oftheTransition in theBalticStatesheld in August I995 in Riga, Latvia, this collection is well edited by Neil Hood, JanErik Vahlne, and Robert Kilis. Contributors include forty-three Baltic and Westernscholarsinvitedto the conference organizedby the StockholmSchool of Economics. Ideallythe book is focused towardthose studyingthe economic transition in Eastern Europe.

In so doing, Radosevic lays down a descriptive model that uses sectoral, technological, and market characteristics to determine the level of development within enterprises .

O slovenské „menšině" v Československém státě (1918-1938)

The paper deals with the question of relations between Czechs and Slovaks in the first, inter-war, Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938). It is based on contemporary press, published in Bohemia and Slovakia. The basic question was a gradual political self-identification of Slovaks. It is presented by means of the attitudes of Hlinka's Slovak People's Party in 1923 (regional elections), the struggle for the rules of Slovak grammar (1933-rejection of their adaptation to the rules of Czech grammar), the Zvolen pact between the catholic Slovak People's Party anct the protestant Slovak National Party, the celebrations of the first Christian church in Slovakia (1933) and the declaration of Slovakia's autonomy (1938). To conclude: in 1918-1938, during the existence of the first Czechoslovak Republic, there was no Slovak minority. The first Czechoslovakia was de facto a multiethnic country, though officially it was designed as a country of Czechs and Slovaks, who had the will to create a single, Czechoslovak nation. The notion "minority" in the name of the paper is meant ironically and is to point to the approach often applied by Czechs for Slovaks.

Determination of the daily selenium intake in Slovakia.

Three models were used to determine the daily dietary Selenium intake in Slovakia. The Selenium content of food produced and consumed in the Slovak Republic was used to estimate and calculate the daily Selenium intake based on food consumption data per capita and seven days, (24 h) eating protocol models. In a duplicate portion model, Selenium was analyzed in a whole day hospital diet during an eight-day period. According to these models the daily dietary Selenium intake was 38.2 microg; 43.3 +/- 6.5 microg for men and 32.6 /- 6.6 microg for women; 27.1 +/- 7.8 microg for normal and 32.3 +/- 4.8 microg for nourishing hospital diets. The main contributors of Selenium to daily intake were the following: eggs, pork, and poultry. The obtained results indicate that the daily dietary intake of Selenium of the Slovak people is below the recommended values.

"At the Price of the Republic": Hlinka's Slovak People's Party, 1929-1938

Here, Felak examines an episode in the 1930s, when Slovak nationalism achieved first autonomy and then independence for Slovakia - but at a price - that of the loss of East Central Europe's only parliamentary democracy and the strengthening of Nazi power in the heart of Europe.

Feminism, Patriarchy, Nationalism, and Women inFin-de-SiècleSlovakia

The association of nationalist consciousness and feminist ideology in Slovakia in the late nineteenth century was a protracted and uneven process. This conclusion rests upon the results of this study which examines the feminist and nationalist views of Slovak women intelligentsia who were at the forefront of Slovak nationalist efforts. It explores responses of leading Slovak women to the following issues of nationalist concern: traditional Slovak patriarchy, women's education, and Western feminism. It demonstrates that in Slovakia, gender was not the primary factor determining women's loyalties; there were other connecting allegiances and loyalties to the nation and the community. Slovak women developed their own unique concept of gender equality that aided Slovak nationalist efforts. In doing so they employed the language of motherhood, domestic duties, and religious commitment.Around the turn of the century, a small group of Slovak women intelligentsia attempted to reconcile their own agenda with contemporary nationalist, social, and political currents. Spurred by nationalist efforts of the Slovak male intelligentsia, middle-class women tried to determine what type of new nationalist woman should replace the traditional woman. This question was answered by five women, in four very distinct ways: (1) Ľudmila Ríznerová-Podjavorinská portrayed the goals of Western feminism as a danger to Slovaks; (2) Elena Maróthy-Šolthésová and Terézia Medvecká Vansová encouraged the growth of Christian feminism; (3) Marína Ormisová-Maliaková favored the introduction of pragmatic feminism in Slovak nationalist efforts; and (4) Hana Lilge-Gregorová argued for the establishment of Western feminism as the basis of social and national development. Although the personal lives of these five women represent the social and national distress of the Slovak people, they also show women's fight for the acceptance of new ideas which would improve the fate of their sisters and their nation. Yet this small collection of feminist intellectuals could not and did not effect Slovak public opinion in any substantial way. Their influence, except perhaps that of Hana Lilge-Gregorová, did not stretch beyond the Slovak urban middle-class milieu.

The social consequences of transformation in Slovakia

Abstract This article provides basic information about the transformation process in Slovakia from 1989 to 1994. Presented are some of the major results of the SOCO survey and selected important social topics are analyzed. Sociological information about income, property, consumption, and expenditures of Slovak households is given, and the economic activities of Slovak households and peoples’ attitudes to the transformation process are discussed. The article also addresses who are the winners and losers of the transition in the context of rising poverty and changes in social policy.

The Hesitant Way to Independence

Slovakia was a part of the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918. It had no special position or regional identity there, in spite of the fact that it had been constantly inhabited by the Slovak people, who long ago had given their own name to this part of the Hungarian Kingdom: Slovakia. During the last century Slovakia was exposed to extreme Hungarian assimilationism. It was a British scholar, 'Scotus Viator', who became the most famous protector of Slovaks before the 1st World War. His book Racial Problems in Hungary helped Slovakia very much, and at least made its name a little better known to the international public.'
