Toll

The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.

German troops enter Prague and the Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia is proclaimed the next day; the Reich's anti-Jewish legislation is extended by stages to Czech and Moravian communities, who lose their civil and professional rights within a few months.

German troops enter Prague in the morning, and the Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia is proclaimed the following day from the Castle. The community of Prague, one of the oldest in Central Europe, finds itself overnight placed under an administration that adopts the Reich's racial legislation. The measures arrive in stages: census, exclusion from the liberal professions, marking of businesses. The city that had given Ashkenazi Judaism its most celebrated cemetery and its oldest synagogue becomes a place of waiting.
