Anti-Semitic Legislation in Slovakia and in Europe
Scientific conference on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of accepting the so-called Jewish Code
The Nation΄s Memory Institute and the European Network of Remembrance and Solidarity in cooperation with the Comenius University in Bratislava, specifically with the Department of General History of Faculty of Philosophy and with the Department of Legal History of Faculty of Law invite you to the international scientific conference Anti-Semitic Legislation in Slovakia and in Europe, that is organized to commemorate the 70th anniversary of accepting the so-called Jewish Codex (Order no. 198/1941 of the Slovak Codex) about the legal status of Jews. This conference should clarify usage of existing legal norms for persecution of the Jewish population, creation of new anti-Jewish legislation, and it should also point out to the mutual relation of anti-Jewish legislation, discrimination, and Jewish community liquidation during 1930s and 1940s. The conference aims to highlight not only the common features of anti-Jewish legislation, but also its particularities in individual countries. Results of the research in the field of anti-Jewish legislation will present more than thirty participants from thirteen countries.
