A Czech public-history documentation entry on Action K (Akce K), the night of 13 to 14 April 1950 raid in which State Security operatives, police and People's Militia units simultaneously surrounded 219 monastic houses across Czechoslovakia and interned 2,376 monks, nicknamed at the time "the Saint Bartholomew's Day of Monks." Its strength is precise, site-specific figures drawn from the documentation project's own archival case files on individual monasteries and internment camps, including Zeliv and Osek; its limit is that it documents Action K in detail while treating the parallel Action R against convents only descriptively, with no numeric figures of its own.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierA dedicated Czech public-history and documentation project cataloguing sites of totalitarian-era repression case by case, carrying precise, site-specific figures rather than a general encyclopedia summary; not a peer-reviewed academic monograph, so held one tier below Ketelaar-class scholarship rather than at tier one.
