Learning outcomes
The seminar deals with the question of education in the multiethnic and multicultural Czech lands between 1918-1945. The main topic will be Czech-German relations. The central question is whether and how education influenced Czech-German society in two different political regimes. Is there a certain continuity between the democratic school system of the First Republic and the National Socialist school education introduced under conditions of terror and war?
