Jewish New York. Diversity of Jewish immigration waves 1820-1924
Zubková, Katarína ; Šedinová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee)
Jewish New York today is indisputably the center of the Jewish Diaspora. It is the largest and the richest Jewish community outside of Israel. Already since the beginning of the 201 h century it has had the largest urban Jewish population in the world. Nevertheless, Jewish New York is not only vast, but immensely complex as well. Jews were arriving in various historical immigration waves from different places in the world, each one of them preparing the ground for the next wave. The goal of my M.A. thesis called "Jewish New York. Diversity of the Jewish Immigration Waves 1820- 1924", was to identify the waves of Jewish immigrants that were transforming the city of New York and to describe the way they settled in, adapted and lived in New York. The time span is limited to the century of the mass migration starting in 1820 and ending in 1924 after the immigration restriction legislation was adopted. I was inspired by reading Jewish American authors such as I. B. Singer, Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth or J.S. Foer, particularly in specialized seminar conducted by Hana Ulmanova, PhD., at the Department of English and American Studies. The final decision to write about this topic was influenced by the fact that in 2007 I received a one semester scholarship at the Department of Hebrew and Judaic studies at New York...

The development of the Jewish community in Kolín in the 18th century. The population, crafts, administration in comparison
Věchetová, Zuzana ; Šedinová, Jiřina (referee) ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor)
The comparison of two biggest jewish communities in the Czech country, Kolín and Libeň, show us in virtue of performed research the different making of them. On the one hand its population grew in the same way up. Many of the inhabitants come from other cities, mainly from Nový Bydžov and Praha, also some from Poland or Germany. On the other hand show the differents in crafts, taxes collection and administration. In Kolín were more tradesmen and merchants, in Libeň dominated the manufacturing of clothes. The real jewish ribbon manufacture in Libeň was established at the end of eighties of 18th century. Surprising is result of research the taxes. The Jews from Kolin, although they had less incomes, had to collect twice more contribution tax than the Jews from Libeň. The contribution tax rises about one third during the 18th century. The administration of Jews in Kolín was privileged due to direct management of Czech chamber. But the the economic situation was different, the Jews from Libeň were for Praha more important. The digest from reviewed sources perform the schedule of office holders, tables and graphs in supplement. Also the picture supplement is included.

The administrative development and life in the state asylum in Prague
Chaloupková, Petra ; Hlaváčková, Ludmila (referee) ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor)
This work traces a 95-year period of working of the Municipal Establishment for Deranged People (Zemský ústav pro choromyslné) in Prague. More exactly, it deals with the period from its foundation in 1791 until the origination of its successor institutions - the Czech and German Psychiatric Clinics in the year 1866. The first part of the work describes the foundation of the establishment, beginnings of its operation, its successive disaffiliation from the General Hospital (Všeobecná nemocnice), of which it was initially a part, its rapid building development, and the establishment's day-to-day life. In the year 1846, the establishment became a stand-alone medical institution, entirely independent of the hospital's management. It was a state charitable institution and, as such, it was financed by the state. It obtained additional funds for its operation from the fees for the provided care and other activities. The Chapter Two, which maps the years 1846-1864, addresses not only these financial matters, but also the establishment's separate administration and its other building and qualitative developments. The last Chapter is devoted to the period of the years 1864-1886 when the establishment was completely assigned to the administration of the Municipal Committee. It chronicles, in addition to administrative...

The hospital of St. Paul in Prague
Katovská, Jitka ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor)
The institution of St. Paul 's Hospital in Prague belongs to social-charitable institutions that had taken care of the needed poor, ill, old, widows and orphans in the early modern period. The history of St. Paul 's Hospital had taken place in the area behind Poříčská brána and after the thirty year 's war in so called Temple. Certain amount of information, explaining not only economic and administrative functioning of St. Paul 's Hospital but also the history of day-to-day activities of the inhabitants, has been preserved in the hospital books in the Archive of the capital city Prague. The diploma thesis analyses material background of the hospital, the system of hospital donations, the administrative organisation with an accessible list of hospital clerks, and the quantity of care that the hospital was offering. In the list of the history of St. Paul 's Hospital there is also enumeration of duties and rules that had to be followed in order to stay in the hospital as well as references to the conditions and reasons for the admission of hospital applicants. The comparison with St. Catherine 's Hospital in Regensburg, which is unique for its parity functioning and both catholic and evangelic patients care, brings interesting evidence for the fact that Czech and German institutions do not differ in the basic...

Strakonice school in the period from 1918 to 1939
Voldřichová, Kateřina ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee) ; Dobeš, Jan (advisor)
Za téma své bakalárské práce jsem si zvolila školy všech typu v okresním meste Strakonice v období od vzniku republiky v roce 1918 do brezna 1939. Toto téma jsem si vybrala z duvodu mého zájmu o regionální historii a rovnež svou roli sehrál i muj zájem o dejiny 20. století. Dalším duvodem bylo, že se tomuto tématu doposud nikdo nevenoval. Ucelená práce zabývající se tímto tématem dosud nebyla publikována a odborné clánky se tomuto tématu venují jen okrajove, v rámci historie školství ve Strakonicích, kde je zmapována situace do vzniku republiky a následne historie škol po druhé svetové válce. V meziválecné dobe školní inspektor Jan Dyk (1860 - 1926), v rámci svého díla Popis politického okresu strakonického, venoval cást druhého dílu práve školství, kde se zmínil o historii škol nejen ve Strakonicích, ale popsal stav školství celého okresu k roku 1925. Druhou publikací z tohoto období je Strakonice - propagace a adresár shrnující stav školství k roku 1933. Z prací, které vyšly v soucasné dobe, je treba zmínit clánek Ivany Ríhové ve Vlastivedném sborníku Strakonice 3.

The Czech doctress MUDr. Anna Bayerová and her friendship with Libuše Bráfová-Riegrová (text editing of diary and correspondce)
Beranová, Martina ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee) ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor)
MUDr. Anna Bayerová se nikdy neprovdala, neměla rodinu ani děti, protože celý svůj život zasvětila lékařství, které v tehdejší době nebylo pro ženy snadno dostupnou záležitostí. Při dlouhé a nesnadné cestě k dosažení lékařského titulu se musela vypořádat s četnými překážkami od neporozumění rodiny, přes finanční problémy, samotu i odloučenost od domova. Anna pocházela z prostého venkovského prostředí, kde bylo zvykem po získání triviálního vzdělání nastoupit životní dráhu ženy v domácnosti. Zatímco její starší sestra se v tomto ohledu nevymykala zavedenému stereotypu, Anna se rozhodla pokračovat ve studiu, což bylo v omezené míře možné pouze v Praze. Kromě možnosti dále se vzdělávat nadchlo Annu i kulturní pražské prostředí zvláště v okruhu Amerického kruhu dam. Přestože jí bylo ministerstvem vyučování a kultu povoleno studovat na gymnáziu, kde jako privatistka úspěšně zvládla všechny zkoušky až do kvinty, ke složení maturity se však nakonec nedostala. Jako vhodná příležitost se jevilo studium ve Švýcarsku, které bylo vstřícné studiu žen i ze zahraničí a na univerzitách nebylo nutné prokázat se maturitním vysvědčením. Nejdříve se vydala do Curychu, kde v té době měla za sebou první dva semestry její krajanka Bohuslava Kecková, a zhruba po roce a půl se přestěhovala do Bernu, kde v listopadu 1881 završila...

Jews in Finland during World War II
Dvořáková, Jana ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee) ; Šedinová, Jiřina (advisor)
Before and during World War II there was almost no Anti-Semitism in Finland, and in fact, the Finnish government refused to condone the Nazis' anti-Jewish platform. When Finland also refused to cooperate with the Soviet Union in late 1939, Soviet troops attacked Finland. As equal Finnish citizens, the country's Jews joined the army to fight the Soviets; some 15 were killed and many others were wounded. After holding out for several months, Finland surrendered to the Soviet Union in March 1940 and was forced to hand over some of its territory to the Soviets. In 1941 German troops came to Finland; Finland then joined Germany as its ally in the attack on the Soviet Union in order to recapture the land it had lost to the Soviets in the Winter war. Some 300 Jews (Finnish citizens and refugees from other countries) served in the Finnish army during the Continuous war. The German authorities requested that the Finnish government hand over its Jewish community, but the Finns refused. Reportedly, when SS chief Heinrich Himmler brought up the "Jewish question" with Prime Minister Johann Wilhelm Rangell in mid-1942, Rangell replied that there was no Jewish question in Finland; he firmly stated that the country had but 2,000 respected Jewish citizens who fought in the army just like everyone else, and thus closed the...

The diaries of Zdenka Braunerová (1873-1883)
Šámal, Martin ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee)
Zdenka Braunerová je v povědomí širší veřejnosti zapsána jako česká výtvarnice, malířka. Přestože sama sebe vnímala a považovala za krajinářku, významná a mnohem více ceněná je především její tvorba v oblasti knižní grafiky. Její přínos a význam pro české umění je dokonce přirovnáván k významu Boženy· Němcové pro českou literaturu. Mnohem méně je již známa skutečnost, že se jedná o první plně profesionální českou malířku. Rozhodnutí stát se nezávislou a soběstačnou umělkyní a především pak jeho realizace, však narážely na zažité představy o postavení a funkci ženy ve společnosti. Z tohoto důvodu se stala jakýmsi symbolem vzepření se proti dobovým konvencím či maloměšťáctví. V minulosti bylo napsáno mnoho biografických, umělecko-historických či populárně naučných publikací, studentských prací i odborných článků zabývajících se životem či jednotlivými aspekty života této malířky. Přesto zájem o život a dílo Zdenky Braunerové neutichá, což lze vysvětlit nejen významem této osobnosti pro českou kulturu, ale také specifičností jejího života, který stále láká k novému zkoumání a objevování nových souvislostí. Vliv na badatelský zájem má nepochybně také neuvěřitelně rozsáhlá pozůstalost rozptýlená po mnoha českých i zahraničních institucích. Toto mimořádně pestré bohatství není stále ještě zcela vytěženo a láká...
