Štětinová, Veronika ; Putík, Daniel (advisor) ; Kubátová, Hana (referee)
The topic of the present thesis is "The Experience of Holocaust: The Fate and Works of Jean Améry and Primo Levi". Both authors experienced imprisonment in concentration camps due to their Jewish origin, and this fact is reflected in their works. The thesis aims to follow the parallels in the lives and works of both the authors. Jean Améry and Primo Levi came from nonpracticing Jewish families. This determined their own attitude towards Jewishness. Both of them joined the resistance during World War Two and were consequently sent to the concentration camp in Auschwitz. Apart from Auschwitz, Jean Améry was transported to two other camps. When WWII finished, they began to reflect their experience in their works. Jean Améry, as well as Primo Levi committed suicide many years after the war. In comparison with other authors writing about the Holocaust (Theodor W. Adorno, Hannah Arendt, Bruno Bettelheim, Viktor Frankl or Raul Hilberg), Jean Améry and Primo Levi addressed more specific, and to a certain point similar problems. For Jean Améry, the essential topic is the status of an intellectual in Auschwitz, but Primo Levi reflects upon this too. Other themes recurrent in the work of both authors include: existence or non- existence of God, the question of collective guilt of the German nation or the...

Smilová, Jana ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Foltýn, Dušan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to introduce the perished Jewish community in Čkyně, especially its last members. The work is based on the study of the archival documents in the relevant archives and on the articles in the regional volumes. The first part of this work contains the literature and archival sources used in this work. Then the introduction of the history of the jewish community from the end of the 16th century to the period of the World War II follows. These are supplemented with the basic pieces of information about the history of the Jews in Bohemia. Without that it would not be possible to set this small community into a wider context. The main part of this work is to elaborate the fates of the last members of this Jewish community which is mostly based on the study of the archival documents. The stories of lives of the particular people who had belonged to this community or had been in some kind of contact with it are described. These stories make the theoretical part about the history of the Jewish community a very personal and approachable matter. This part ends with the description of the holocaust which brought this Jewish community into its end. A special chapter is given to the Jewish cemetery and the synagogue which are the only visible reminder of the Jewish settlement at this place.
