The area of the Krkonoše Mountains and the nearby was for several centuries a region in which both Czech and German-speaking inhabitants coexisted. Radical socio-demographic changes came with the year 1945, when the vast majority of German-speaking inhabitants were displaced on the basis of the principle of collective guilt for the Second World War. The subject of the article is the analysis of narratives relating to May 1945, which is perceived and celebrated as “liberation” in the Czech ethnic-language context, while in the German context as the beginning of the post-war trauma associated with involuntary leaving home. The subject of the analysis will be primarily the contemporary memories of the May events, but also the period press and other sources reflecting on the changes in narratives of the end of the war over the last 75 years. The aim of the text is to interpret the reception and retrospective reflection of the period events, whose perception and interpretation changes over the course of time and time, i. e. to capture the way in which the phenomenon of “liberation” is presented, transmitted and retrospectively perceived within the Czech and German ethno-linguistic context over the course of 75 years.

We evaluate the extent in which the building savings subsidies, a large spending program of the Czech government, achieves one of its stated goals, i.e., to promote savings of the Czech households. Using household-level survey of investment and saving behaviour, we identify households that are apparently unaffected in their level of savings by the building savings subsidies. At least 44% of the total spending on the subsidy is received by households whose savings are unaffected, and in fact 9.6% of the total spending on the subsidy effectively subsidizes borrowing instead of savings. We identify at most 19% of households whose level of savings may be increased because of the subsidy. We also evaluate the distributional impacts of the building savings subsidies. They are regressive overall, especially for the poorest quartile of the Czech households.
