The Roma - A Minority in Europe
The main issues arising from the encounter between Roma people and surrounding European society since the time of their arrival in Medieval Europe until today are discussed in this work. The history of their persecution and genocide during the Nazi era, in particular, is central to the present volume. Significantly, some authors sought to emphasize the continuing history of prejudice and persecution, which reached a peak during the Nazi era and persisted after the war. Current questions of social integration in Europe, as well as that of ethnic definition and the construction of ethnic-national identity constitute another principal pillar of the book. The complexity of issues involved, such as collective memory, myth-making and social constructionism, trigger intense debate among researchers dealing with Romani studies.
Anti-semitism in Romania, 1989-1992
Antisemitism in Romania in the transitionary period 1989-92 arose as an attempt to revive prewar ideologies, but was also a continuation of Ceausescu-era tendencies. Rehabilitation of the prewar antisemitic regime began well before 1989, and of the Iron Guard in 1989. On the other hand, many former communist functionaries became radical right-wing leaders and ideologues, causing the intermingling of two strains of antisemitism. Still, antisemitism in Romania is constrained within radical right propaganda, especially in publications in numerous right-wing papers; the level of anti-Jewish violence and vandalism is no higher in Romania than in other former communist countries. Dwells on the main topics of antisemitic writings: anti-Zionism, equating Judaism with communism, Holocaust denial, and religious antisemitism.
The Roma: a Minority in Europe
The situation of the Roma in Europe, especially in the former communist states, is one of the more important human rights issues on the agenda of the international community, especially in the Euro-Atlantic bodies of integration. Within European states that have Roma populations there is a growing awareness that the matter must be confronted, and that there is a need for a concentrated effort to solve social problems and ease tensions between the Roma and the European nations among which they dwell. This volume is the result of an international conference held at Tel Aviv University in December 2002. The conference, one of the largest held among the academic community in the last decade, served as a unique forum for a multidisciplinary discussion on the past and present of the Roma in which both Roma and non-Roma scholars from various countries engaged.

A History of Czechs and Jews
Was Israel founded by Czechoslovakia? A History of Czechs and Jews examines this question and the resulting findings are complex. Czechoslovakia did provide critical, secret military sponsorship to Israel around 1948, but this alliance was short-lived and terminated with the Prague Trial of 1952. Israel’s "Czech guns" were German as much as Czech, and the Soviet Union strongly encouraged Czechoslovakia’s help for Israel. Most importantly however, the Czechoslovak-Israeli military cooperation was only part of a much larger picture. Since the mid-1800s, Czechs and Jews have been systematically comparing themselves to each other in literature, music, politics, diplomacy, media, and historio...
