  1. G. Masaryk is still perceived today, especially as a result of the Hilsner affair, as a politician with a positive attitude towards the Jewish minority. However, Masaryk's attitude towards Jews was not as clear-cut as is often stated. The lecture will focus on the changes in Masaryk's views on Judaism and the events that influenced his attitudes. It will also present the relationship of important Jewish personalities to the founding of Czechoslovakia and its first president. The lecture by historian Táňa Klementová will take place within the Masaryk Days organized by Masaryk University. More information on the whole programme can be found at www.masarykovydny.cz
