A new issue of the journal Judaica Bohemiae (Vol. 55/2020, 1) came out in July 2020. This issue starts with a study by Iveta Cermanová (Official Discussions about the Toleration of Jews in Bohemia: On the Circumstances Surrounding the Issuance of the so-called Edict of Toleration in 1781) which, on the basis of newly found sources in the National Archives in Prague, deals with Joseph II’s policy of Jewish toleration with the aim of clarifying the circumstances under which the Court Decree (the so-called Edict of Toleration) for the Jews of Bohemia was issued on 19 October 1781. The next paper (Child Survivors and the Dynamics of Holocaust Memory in Late-Socialist Czechoslovakia), by Peter Hallama, provides an analysis of the first big gathering of Terezín child survivors in Prague and Terezín in the fall of 1986 and sheds new light on the dynamics of Jewish life and Holocaust memory in communist Czechoslovakia.

The Reports section contains a paper by Bernhard Purin on the topic of silver Judaica from the workshops of the Jewish goldsmiths Josef Ruhmann and Emanuel Eisler in Boskovice (Boskowitz). This is followed by a report by Iveta Cermanová and Alexandr Putík on the Prague Jewish Museum’s role in the development of Jewish history research between 1945 and 2019. This analysis deals with the topics that were studied at the museum and the major works that were published there, as well as providing expert profiles of key researchers.

The final section of the journal contains reviews of the following books: Jaroslav Klenovský’s Encyklopedie židovských památek Moravy a Slezska (reviewed by Arno Pařík); Filip Paulus, Šárka Steinová et al.’s Krajina a urbanismus na rukopisných plánech z 18. století. Translokační plány židovských obydlí v zemích Koruny české v letech 1727–1728 / Landscape and Urbanism in Manuscript Plans from the 18th Century: Translocation Plans of Jewish Settlements in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown from the Period of 1727–1728 (reviewed by Pavel Kocman); Jiří Roháček et al.’s Epigraphica & Sepulcralia 8, Fórum epigrafických a sepulkrálních studií [Forum of Epigraphical and Sepulchral Studies] (reviewed by René Petráš and Miroslava Jouzová); Marie Bader’s Life and Love in Nazi Prague: Letters from an Occupied City, eds. Kate Ottevanger and Jan Láníček (reviewed by Wolfgang Schellenbacher); and Židé, nebo Němci? Německy mluvící Židé v poválečném Československu, Polsku a Německu [Jews or Germans? German-Speaking Jews in Czechoslovakia, Poland and Germany after World War II], eds. Kateřina Čapková and David Rechter (reviewed by Jakub Bronec).
