- Abstract
The article focuses on Johannes Urzidil, a Czech-German writer and journalist who worked in the German embassy in Prague and spent time with the Germans living in exile in Prague from 1933 to 1938. His position about their exile is alluded to in the question "Quamvis sub aqua, sub aqua maledicere temptant"?, which means "Although they are under water, they further try to blaspheme." Urzidil himself emigrated to New York City in 1941 where he wrote over 140 articles for the journal "Čechoslovák v Anglii". After the end of World War II Urzidil broke with the post-war Czechoslovakian government, saying post-war Czechoslovakia had been driven toward the dictator Josef Stalin.
