“Criminal Refugees”. Writing “Eastern Jews” into the Czechoslovak Nation-State (1918–1919)
Original language description
The article analyses discourses of Jewish refugee criminality in Czechoslovakia after the end of the First World War. In the Czech-language press, Jewish refugees were depicted as the perpetrators of serious crimes, including improper trading, which took advantage of the shortages of food and other basic commodities, smuggling, and forging currency. The author treats these accusations as a type of moral panic which not only reflected dramatic wartime and post-war changes and economic distress but which was also part of the process of nation-building. The discursive exclusion of Jewish refugees therefore not only built on antisemitic stereotypes and established notions of Jewish criminality, but also contributed to the formation of the borders, citizenship, and legal order of the new Czechoslovak state.
