  • Matus Cernak (Matuš Ĉernȁk) was a Slovak minister in the chechoslovak government during World War II. He forced the government to give autonomy to Salovakia and by this way he helped to the division of chechoslovakia and to the turning of Slovakia into a satellite state of Nazi Germany. After the war he fled to Germany and there established a right-wing anti - Communist organisation for the Chech, Slovak, Hungarian and Rumanian exiles. He was assasinated in Műnich by a package bomb -- (Slovak history: chronology & lexicon By Július Bartl, and dossier)
