Countryside. Historický časopis, 2021, 69, 4, pp. 601–625, Bratislava.
Placing my investigation into the historically multi-ethnic and multireligious
small towns and villages of the former Šariš-Zemplín County
in eastern Slovakia during the Second World War, I examine ideas
and policies associated with civilizing the countryside, as voiced and
introduced by Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party. Building on what is now a
growing scholarship on the topographies and topologies of the Holocaust,
I reconstruct here how plans and programs to raise living standards in
the east of the country, including a policy entitled “caring for the Slovak
village,” hastened the further exclusion of local Jews from what had
been a joint social space and physical place. Doing so, I manifest how
the “beautifying” of Slovak villages included “cleansing” these from the
Jews, and how the process, while orchestrated from above, had its own
local dynamics. More generally, my work makes a case for an integrated
social history of the Holocaust in eastern Slovakia, one that shows how
the social and economic “uplifting” was intertwined with the robbing and murdering of local Jews. |
