Does really exist any space in the history of the topic of the Holocaust, in which there was no discussion in the USA about what had happened?
Rejtmajerová, Alžběta ; Kubátová, Hana (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
Most of historians embraced the opinion, that the Holocaust was not the part of the public discourse from the end of the World War II until the 1960s. This premise persisted until the late 20th century. At the beginning of the 21st century started to talk the historians who believed that there was no vacuum. They try to defend their beliefs. Bachelor thesis Does really exist any space in the history of the topic of the Holocaust, in which there was no discussion in the USA about what had happened? talks about dilemma of historians, if there was no public discussion in the USA for some time, or if it is just a myth.

The research focuses mainly on the protrayal of contemporary Jewish figures found in Czech visual culture, following religious as well as gradually secularized Jews through iconopgraphic themes. In dealing with the less observant or even wholly secularized Jewish figures, the aim is to show the iconographic elements by which these differ from the majority of society. In the first part the most important aspects of the evolution of Jewish iconography are analyzed. Among these the most important ones are a liberal interpretation of the Old Testament prohibition of figural representation, Jewish emancipation involving gradual assimilation as well as the Jewish yearning for an authentic visual representation, which most likely was the main factor behind the evolution of Jewish iconography. In addition to medieval and modern Jewish figural representations special attention is given to portrayal of Prague Jews and themes found in Hebrew manuscripts as well as printed materials, where surprisingly enough a much lower number of demeaning signs are found. Furthermore a gallery of portraits showing Czech Jews is shown, including...
