Počátky spolupráce Československa a Polska při repatriaci svých občanů po druhé světové válce (do uzavření repatriační smlouvy). (Czech)

The subject of cooperation between Czechoslovakia and Poland in the repatriation of their citizens had heretofore remained marginal to the interest of historians. Yet at the same time there exist a great number of archival sources relating to this topic. In this study the author mainly made use of documents from the national Archives in Prague and the Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, but the Polish archives are no less richly endowed. In the Central Archives of Modem Records in Warsaw it is possible to study materials from the State Office of Repatriation, and reports from the Polish diplomatic representation are available at the Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. On the basis of these sources, and with reference to findings from relevant scholarly literature that has been previously published, the author endeavors to present to readers the first months of Czechoslovak-Polish cooperation in the repatriation process and to analyze in detail the problems that both states had to cope with in organizing this migration. His narrative ends with the signing of the repatriation treaty between Czechoslovakia and Poland in September, 1945, which commences the next phase in cooperation on population transfers between both states.
