These days, the global climate change is not only a very frequently discussed topic, but above all a threat to the entire planet.

Nevertheless, three of these boundaries have already been breached and are currently in a critical state. The climate change is one of them and its breach is very serious. That is why this master's thesis is dealing with this important issue, which needs to be tackled on the global as well as the individual level since everyone's contribution, though small on the global scale, is necessary and it is vital that all take part in solving this global problem.

That is why this master's thesis consisting of five chapters deals in the individual chapters with 1) factual and fictional (artistically rendered) biography and their differences; 2) basic information about the life and work of the writer Charles Lewinsky; 3) a sketch of the period of the Third Reich and the atrocious Holocaust based on the example of the Terezín ghetto; 4) the constellation and characterization of the literary characters in relation to the moral conflict which the text...
