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.

JEDLIČKA, Tomáš
This bachelor thesis deals with the interpretation of two novels, one written by Ferdinand Peroutka, Oblak a valčík, and the other by Viktor Fischl, Dvorní šašci. The core theoretical framework of this thesis is based on the methodological basis provided by Paul Ricoeurs's books Time and Narrative and Oneself as Another, and Hayden White's Tropics of Discourse and Metahistory. The interpretation mainly focuses on the representation of characters of victims of the Second World War, and Holocaust respectively. The last chapter itself contextualises the novel and puts it into the particular context of Czech exile literature, and relates particular authorial strategies found in these novels to the sociopolitical thinking of their respective authors.
