2013
Abstract
The chapter focuses on the history of the Faculty of Medicine of the German Charles University in Prague during World War II and Nazi occupation of Bohemia and Moravia (radical nazification of the institution and re-orientation of its research and teaching activities according to ideological pressures and war needs). Special attention is paid to relations between Prague and Münster faculties of medicine in the 20th century and the role of Münster University as a "shelter" for those professors who had to leave Prague after 1945.
