Projektové vyučování ve výuce historických témat v hodinách výchovy k občanství (Pracovní tábor Terezín)
POUZAROVÁ, Iveta
This diploma thesis focuses on project teaching method in "civic education" classes, which are focused on history. The contemporary calls for the elimination of fact and positive approach to teaching are encouraged by project teaching method. Project teaching method organises itself in a new way, so the pupils do not have to listen to a lecture, watch demonstrations, remember the information and finally reproduce the received and remembered information. The thesis is divided into two parts, of which the first one is analytical and concerns itself with the essence of project teaching method and its history and use in "civic education" classes. The author is explains how an excursion should look like and how to organise it. An important part of the analytic part is the history of the Czech nazi work-camp called Terezin. In the second practical part, the author emphasises the actual in-class use of the previous findings. The author also incorporates the topic of holocaust into curriculums of certain schools and grades. Finally an excursion which particular schools undertook is described and evaluated via a quantitative questionnaire-based research.

Putík, Daniel ; Švec, Luboš (advisor) ; Kubátová, Hana (referee) ; Nižňanský, Eduard (referee)
The dissertation focuses on the fates of some 5 000 men, women and children of mostly Jewish descent who were deported by German Nazi authorities from the occupied Slovak State into the Sachsenhausen, Ravensbrück, Bergen-Belsen and Theresienstadt concentration camps in the period ranging from November 1944 to the end of March 1945. The main objectives of the dissertation include the establishment of the number and identity of the deportees, the circumstances of their arrest, deportation, imprisonment and liberation as well as the causes of survival, or death, of the victims of racial persecution during the German occupation of Slovakia. Based on a comparative and content analysis of the available archival sources, oral and written testimonies by survivors and, to a limited extent, of secondary literature, the writer attempts to explain the conduct of the perpetrators and victims as well as the general historical context of the deportation and imprisonment of Slovak Jews by the Nazi regime. Based on an analysis of documents related to the anti-Jewish measures taken by the Nazi security apparatus in Slovakia with the assistance of local collaborators, more general conclusions are made with regard to the development of the Nazi "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" in the German Reich and the...

Practice of Jewish Feasts in Terezín
Zunová, Markéta ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Hocká, Eva (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Practicing Jewish holidays in Terezín" deals with the Jewish situation in the first half of the 20th century with emphasis on the years of the 2nd world war. In the initial part of my thesis I focus on the development of Jews in the area of Czech lands, elementary classification of different Jewish groups and the situation of anti-Semitic riots just before the war. This is followed by the characteristic of Terezín from the beginning to the liberation in the year 1945. The characteristic of the most important Jewish holidays and customs is an integral part of the thesis. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to attempt to apply the gained knowledge to the environment of the Terezín ghetto. The information concerning these issues was drawn from the archive of visual history Malach, in which there are thousands of testimonies of survivors, and also from specialized literature. I reached the conclusion that the holidays were celebrated in the difficult conditions of the ghetto, even if only symbolically with the use of prayers or collective reminiscence. Paradoxical holidays are those that are connected with fasting, all you have to do is to abstain from food and even these holidays are remembered by the survivors. The thesis should serve as a general overview of the Jewish situation...
