Abstract
The article is oriented to the reception of the life and works of Josef Jungmann during the period of the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Based on the analysis of contemporary sources, it concludes that Jungmann's creative personality was firmly embedded in the cultural consciousness of the nation throughout the entire period of the protectorate.
His legacy was elaborated and even purposefully commemorated by a specially established official committee of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts. Dealing with the personality of Jungmann thus represented one of the fragments of a well-thought-out persuasive strategy, through which the Nazi ideology exercised its power in the protectorate when it encouraged Czech philology to turn to the giant of the second phase of the Czech national revival even during the most rigid Germanization.
