Czechoslovak Diplomacy and Israel in 1948-1967
Krausová, Noemi ; Putík, Daniel (advisor) ; Kocian, Jiří (referee)
Noemi Krausová Bachelor thesis Czechoslovak Diplomacy and Israel in 1948 - 1967 2015 Abstract This bachelor thesis focuses on the development of Czechoslovak-Israeli diplomatic relations from 1948 until 1967. Czechoslovakia supported the Jewish community in Palestine in the first years after the Second World War and was promoting the idea of a Jewish state. The friendly attitude on the part of Czechoslovakia was not altered after the communist coup in 1948. Czechoslovakia became the only state to support Israel, by supplying arms, during the War of Independence of 1948/49. Since 1950, however, the Czechoslovak attitude towards Israel began to change under the Soviet influence which was clearly dominant in the internal as well as external policies of the communist regime in Prague. The relations with Israel gradually deteriorated after 1950 as Zionism was declared as an enemy by the communist power. The anti-Zionism of the regime became most pronounced during the political trial against the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, Rudolf Slánský, as well as against other - mostly Jewish - party officials in 1952. The Israeli side was surprised by this fast turn in the Czechoslovak approach. This new policy of hostility culminated in 1967 when the diplomatic relations were suspended...

Litvak migration to southern Africa, 1881-1940
Putík, Daniel ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Nálevka, Vladimír (referee)
My thesis on the ,Litvak 343 Migration to Southern Africa, 1881 to 1940' aims to analyze some of the aspects of one of the major currents in the East European Jewish migration. The pogroms tolerated by the Tsarist authorities following the assasination of the Imperator Alexander II. in 1881 initiated a wawe of migration to the Americas, western Europe, southern Africa and Australia as well as pioneer Zionist colonisation in Palestine. Even today, 90 per cent of the South African Jews are Litvaks, a vast majority of them with roots in the area of the Kaunas gubernia of Tsarist Russia (since 1918, the Lithuanian republic) and present-day Latvia. During the 1920s and 1930s, states throughout the world began to apply more restrictive immmigration policies, creating a major factor in the history of destruction of European 342 Rozhovory s přeživšími holocaustu žijícími v Kapském Městě vyšly jako Schrire, Gwynne (ed.): In Sacred Memory.

"You Don't Perform Theatre in a Graveyard." Public Critism and Resistance in the Vilna Ghetto, 1941 - 1943.
Putík, Daniel ; Pešek, Jiří (advisor) ; Švec, Luboš (referee)
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Die vorliegende Magisterarbeit unter dem Titel "Auf dem Friedhof spielt man kein Theater. " - Öffentliche Kritik und Widerstand im Ghetto Wilna, 1941 - 194Ъ analysiert die Genese der Vereinigten Partisanerorganisation (Farejnikte partisaner organisatziye, FPO), der ersten organisierten jüdischen Widerstandsgruppe im Einflußbereich des Dritten Reiches, sowie die Formierung der organisierten Opposition gegen den Judenrat bzw. den Ghettovorsteher und Polizeichef in Wilna Jakov Gens. Kapitel II. (Wilna und die Juden) schildert die Geschichte der jüdischen Gemeinschaft vor dem deutschen Einmarsch im Juni 1941. Besonderes Augenmerk ist auf die der ideologischen Spaltung der Wilnaer Juden seit dem 19. Jahrhundert gelegt. Trotz des intensiven Terrors während der ersten sowjetischen Okkupation Litauens (1940 - 41) gelang es sowohl den zionistischen Jugendgruppen, der Ortsgruppe vom Bund (der nichtzionistischen, ,jidischistischen" sozialdemokratischen Partei) als auch den religiösen Strukturen, bis hin in die Zeit der Ghettoisierung zu überleben. Kapitel III. (Der blutige Sommer) widmet sich dem Zeitabschnitt zwischen der deutschen Besetzung der litauischen Hauptstadt am 24. Juni 1941 und der Ghettoisierung ihrer jüdischer Einwohner, die am 1. September durchgeführt wurde. Ich habe mich auf den...

Slovak Jews in Theresienstadt, Sachsenhausen, Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen, 1944/1945
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...

The Experience of the Holocaust: The Fate and Works of Jean Améry a Primo Levi
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...
