Excerpt: Alt Danzig was a German settlement in the southern Russian Empire, present day Ukraine. Its name comes from Gdansk, Prussia, in present-day Poland. Alt, meaning "old", distinguishes this community from Neu Danzig, another German settlement in this area of the Russian Empire. Alt Danzing is also known as Old Danzig and was renamed Karlovka (Russian: ), and later Krupskoe (Russian: ).Origins Catherine II of Russia wanted to stabilize the border lands of the Russian Empire with an agricultural population. To do this she recruited in the Danzig area of Prussia. The immigration agent George von Trapp led the first of the Black Sea Settlers, which consisted of 50 families. He took them first by boat to Riga . Then they traveled by wagon south to Kremenchug. Here the party split and 29 families continued to Elizabethgrad (present day Kirovograd , Ukraine). In 1787 they founded Alt Danzig about 15 km to the southwest on land granted to them from Prince Potemkin . By 1803 the settlement had lost 10 families that left due the hardships involved with learning to farm. They were all previously artisans. This is when 10 new Pomeranian families arrived.

Czechoslovakia from 1990 Slovak: ?esko-Slovensko was a sovereign state in Central Europe which existed from October 1918, when it declared its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, until 1992. From 1939 to 1945 the state did not have de facto existence, due to its forced division and partial incorporation into Germany, but the Czech government-in-exile nevertheless continued to exist during this time period while Slovakia was independent from the Czech part. On 1 January 1993 Czechoslovakia peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. |

The History of the Czech Republic and Slovakia charts historical developments in the two nations to the opening decade of the 21st century. The book begins with an overview of the geography, climate, people, economy, and government of both the Czech and Slovak republics. Subsequent chapters offer a chronologically organized survey of historical events, trends, ideas, and people. Starting with the early Slavic settlements around the 5th century AD, the book explores Czech and Slovak history through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and Early Modern eras, the Enlightenment, and the age of nationalism and revolution. Chapters on the 20th century include discussion of the World Wars, the interwar Czechoslovak state, the Communist decades, the Prague Spring, and the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The story is brought up to date with insights into developments in the independent Czech and Slovak republics since 1993. |

Excerpt: The Jewish community of Prague (capital of today's Czech Republic) is one of Europe's oldest and most well-known Jewish communities. The 16th century began the Jewish Renaissance in Prague. Prague nobility in 1501 allowed for an open atmosphere of economic activity. Yet during the Habsburg reign, the Jewish people were expelled twice in 1542 and 1561 . Each time they returned to prosper even more. From 1564-1612, the reigns of Maximilian and Rudolf II were golden ages for the Jews in Prague. In the early 1700s, the Jews accounted for about one fourth of Pragues population. More Jewish people lived in Prague than anywhere else in the world. This golden age ended with Empress Maria Theresa abdicating the throne, and expelling the Jews once again . There was no legal transition from the Jewish Quarter to the ghetto. In was unstated but understood. Know as the Judenstadt, the ghetto was the center of Jewish mysticism. From 1522-1541, the population of the ghetto almost doubled due to influx of Jews expelled from Moravia, Germany, Austria and Spain. The ghetto grew in area because laws allow the Jews to build homes on land next to the ghetto . Inside the ghetto the Jewish people had their own town hall with a prized small bell used to call attendees to meetings. The Jews even had permission to fly their own flag. Jewish living in the ghetto prospered in many diverse professions such as mathematicians, astronomers, geographers, historians, philosophers, and artists. . The Old Jewish Cemetery, the oldest Jewish cemetery in Europe, opened in 1439 and closed in... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3977234 |
