لتكبير النص لتصغير النص

Karl Baum (1907-1996) was a Jewish journalist and editor from Brno, who left for London in 1938 and spent the rest of his life there. After the war he was director of the Information Department at the World Jewish Congress, and later on director of the International Council of Jew from Czechoslovakia, also member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Czechoslovak Jewish Aid Trust. The archive contains material that Baum collected in the context of these three organizations and positions. It deals with the current situation of Jews in the CSSR, then later Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic, also with information and help requests of Czech Jews in regard to claiming pensions and restitution, with antisemitism, with the situation of Charter-77 and the accusation that it was organized by Jews, and with the constant suspicion that people might perhaps be informers for the Communist regime of the CSSR.
