London played a significant role for the Czechoslovak exile from 1938 to 1945, specifically in relation to the fate of Czechoslovakia’s Jews. The British capital became the hub of the Czechoslovak rescue efforts; the seat of the Czechoslovak Government-in-exile (and part of the army-in-exile and the air-force-in-exile); as well as a place of encounter and cooperation with international Zionist organisations for diplomatic, rescue and propaganda purposes. The following contribution analyses these roles, and argues that cooperation between Czechoslovak Jewish refugees and the Czechoslovak Government-in-exile was hollowed out in the early 1940s as the fates of Jews and Christians at home began diverging more radically
