Theresienstadt Jews and the Musy action as an example of forced migration conditioned by the Holocaust
Hawlanová, Julia ; Králová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Kubátová, Hana (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the rescue operation called Terezín-St.Gallen or "Musy- Transport", through which 1 200 prisoners were transferred from the Theresienstadt concentration camp to Switzerland in February 1945. Through the use of secondary sources, audio-visual testimonies, and archival materials, it examines the circumstances under which the rescue of these Jewish prisoners took place, and analyses the situation of the participants in the Swiss refugee camps in the context of this campaign. It also tackles the question of whether the Musy-transport was intended to be a liberation campaign or whether the people involved in organization of the operation had their own self-serving intentions.

Termination of travel contract due to force majeure
Juřinová, Sára ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
The subject of the thesis is the termination of travel contract due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. The term of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstance is not legally defined in the Czech Civil Code. Therefore, the thesis analyses this concept in the light of the case law of several European countries and compares the term substantively with the liberation ground under art. 2913 par. 2 of the Civil Code. In the following sections, the thesis discusses the meaning of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances for the right of the contracting parties to withdraw from the travel contract free of charge, defining the various conditions under which the right can be exercised. The thesis also covers the meaning of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances for the subsequent impossibility of performance.
