AB In the summer of 1945, during the first stages of the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia, Jews were included in the lists of those to be transported to occupied Germany. This was only the first of many pieces of bad news for the Jews returning from the concentration camps or from exile to their home-country. No more than 15 percent of the Czechs and Slovaks classified as Jews by the National Socialists had survived the Holocaust, and those who were now trying to find a way back into Czechoslovak society were confronted with hostility and legal discrimination., In September 1946, the Czechoslovak government revised the most scandalous of the laws against the surviving Jews: the legal classification as “Germans” of all Jews who had opted for German nationality in the 1930 census.
