The next part presents his activities as a theologian and teacher in the Třeboň region and his membership in several clubs and organisations. The third part describes his first and second arrest, trial, incarceration, release; it also brings the memories of eyewitnesses, and information about his stay in Canada and persecution by the State Security (STB). The fourth part deals with the judicial rehabilitation and the fifth one presents some significant episodes from the final period of his life. The appendixes I and II in the text section bring for comparison the biographies of two personalities that significantly influenced the life of J. J. Bouz, namely his brother, Václav Aleš Bouz (martyrdom during the fascist occupation), and his friend and co-worker, Dean Jan Jordán Dostál (forced emigration due to the Communist totalitarianism persecution).
