Jewish Community in Čkyně
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.
