TGM and the Jews, the Jews and TGM MENDEL MUSEUM REFECTATOR Mendlovo nám. 1aTuesday 12 March at 3 pm 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 as part of Masaryk Days organised by Masaryk University. For more information on the programme, please visit www.masarykovydny.cz.
