Jan Rychlík: Deportations of Slovak Jews in the exile literature of Hlinka's Party and neo-Hlinka's Party supporters. Denying the responsibility of the representatives of the wartime Slovak Republic for deportations of Jews

The paper deals with how Slovak historians and publicists who left Slovakia abroad after 1945 dealt with the Slovak government's responsibility for the anti-Jewish measures and deportations of Slovak Jews in 1942. The author points out that they try to shift responsibility primarily to National Socialist Germany while the anti-Jewish laws were in fact primarily the result of domestic Slovak policy. This approach was partly adopted in Slovakia after 1989; in addition to exiled authors who returned to Slovakia or published here, it was also adopted by some domestic historians and publicists.
