SIDELIGHTS
German university teacher and historian Martin Wein has published several books on the history of Jews and Czechs, and Jerusalem. He teaches at New York University and Tel Aviv University, focusing his research on Bohemian history, Czechoslovak-Israeli relations, genocide, interreligious relations, and the intersections of religion-language-nationalism in global contexts. He has published academic articles on Czecho-German Jews, holy tongues, Palestino-Centrism and Landespolitik, and anti-Semitism and the State of Israel for such publications as Judaica Bohemiae, Zion, Past and Present, Zmanim, and Holocaust Studies. Wein holds a Ph.D. in Jewish history from Ben Gurion University in Israel.
A History of Czechs and Jews
In 2015, Wein published A History of Czechs and Jews: A Slavic Jerusalem, part of the “Routledge Jewish Studies Series,” in which he ponders the historical contributions of Czechoslovakia founding Israel. He explores the secret military sponsorship of Czechoslovakia to Israel around 1948, the “Czech guns” used by Israel, the Soviet Union encouraging Czechoslovakia for help to Israel, and the Czechoslovakia-Israeli military cooperation.
Wein also discusses similarities and collaboration in literature, music, politics, diplomacy, media, and historiography. Despite a friendship between the nations, there is some myths Wein dispels, and some conflicting opinions and views regarding Central Europe and the Middle East. Wein assesses past and current alliances between Czechoslovakia and Israel.
History of the Jews in the Bohemian Lands
Wein published the 2016 History of the Jews in the Bohemian Lands, part of the “Studies in Central European Histories” series. In a chronological overview, he presents a modern history of the region and the interaction between Czechs, Slovaks, Jews, Christian German-speakers, and other groups in the Bohemian lands up to the first half of the twentieth century. He discusses the early, high middle, and late Middle Ages periods, early modern period, age of Emperor Rudolf II, Thirty Years’ War, and period of reform under Joseph II. During the twentieth century, there was accelerated nation-building, rise of Austria-Hungary, France, Nazi Germany, and Soviet Union.
The thirteen chapters span the fin-de-siècle crisis of 1897-1900 to Czechoslovakia’s Jewish survivor community from 1945-1948. Wein examines Christian-Jewish relations, interreligious alliances of Jews with Protestants and political parties, Social Democratic movements, settlements and legal status of Jews, professions, scholarship, anti-Jewish accusations and pogroms, history of Jewish self-government, and book culture and Messianism. He discusses works by writers of Prague’s Czech-German-Jewish founders of theories of nationalism, Hans Kohn, Karl W. Deutsch, and Ernest Gellner. Wein also features works at the Maisel Synagogue including illustrations, documents, old books, paintings, maps, and textiles.

History of the Jews in the Bohemian Lands
Go to Online Edition
Martin Wein, New York University and Tel Aviv University
In History of the Jews in the Bohemian Lands, Martin Wein traces the interaction of Czechs and Jews, but also of Christian German-speakers, Slovaks, and other groups in the Bohemian lands and in Czechoslovakia throughout the first half of the twentieth century. This period saw accelerated nation-building and nation-cleansing in the context of hegemony exercised by a changing cast of great powers, namely Austria-Hungary, France, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union. The author examines Christian-Jewish and inner-Jewish relations in various periods and provinces, including in Subcarpathian Ruthenia, emphasizing interreligious alliances of Jews with Protestants, such as T. G. Masaryk, and political parties, for example a number of Social Democratic ones. The writings of Prague’s Czech-German-Jewish founders of theories of nationalism, Hans Kohn, Karl W. Deutsch, and Ernest Gellner, help to interpret this history.
