The Peoples Court of Bratislava has begun trying eight former members of the wartime Slovak Parliament for collaboration with the Nazis and promoting anti-Jewish legislation.
One of the eight, Eugen Gusukiewicz, publicly joined the fascist Hlinka Guard and was responsible for the persecution and arrest of many Jews. The crimes of a second defendant, Pavel Cernogorsky, are so numerous that on some counts he will be tried by a second court, after the present trial is completed.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
