Štefan Polakovič and Slovak Political Catholicism
Lenčéšová, Michaela ; Kopeček, Michal (advisor) ; Šmíd, Marek (referee) ; Šebek, Jaroslav (referee)
The dissertation explores the political thinking of the Catholic philosopher Štefan Polakovič (1912-1999), who is considered one of the main ideologists of Jozef Tiso's politics during the Slovak state (1939-1945). In the context of the political struggle between President Tiso and Prime Minister Vojtech Tuka, Polakovič participated in the Nazification of Slovak Catholic political thinking by creating Slovak and Catholic concepts inspired by the ideology of the German National Socialists. After the Second World War, from Argentina, he tried to achieve the restoration of the Slovak state and in the 1990s he was one of the apologists of Jozef Tiso's politics and a supporter of the idea of the anti-fascist Catholic resistance in the milieu of the Hlinka Slovak People's Party. The main aim of this dissertation is to investigate, what were the main reasons for Polakovič's fascism and why he considered the nation-state as the only acceptable form of statehood for the Slovak nation. Although the dissertation concentrates mainly on Polakovic's thinking during the Slovak state period, it also pays attention to Polakovič's thinking during Argentine emigration in an attempt to reflect the development of his thinking throughout the twentieth century. First, this dissertation describes the birth and history of...

Given the topic, the theoretical part focuses on the historical events of the establishment of the Slovak state and the repression of the Jewish population. The thesis then interferes with the context of Czechoslovakian war literature and cinematography in the 1960s and introduces the author of the novel Ladislav Grossman and a creative couple of directors Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos. The empirical part of the thesis analyzes the critical response to the novel and the film adaptation in the periodical press in the context of Czechoslovakian culture. The empirical part also includes selected critical reactions in the period after the Velvet revolution in 1989. The critical texts and reviews were chosen from the printed culturally oriented periodicals and attachments of the daily press between 1965-1970 and subsequently after 1989.

Slovak Anti-Jewish Legislation in the Years 1938 - 45 and its Application in Practice
Paleček, Lukáš ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor) ; Kindl, Vladimír (referee)
Although the Holocaust (a word for suffering of millions of individual people of vastness that stretches beyond our imagination) is a rather distressing topic I chose to carry out this re- search for two reasons, which prevailed. First, the experience shows that extreme situations reveal many latent features of human psyche - studying them is tempting. Second, the Holo- caust is a morally and politically important and still topical theme because not forgetting evil is a manner of its prevention. The purpose of my thesis is to analyse anti-Jewish law (and briefly also anti-Gypsies law) in Slovakia in the years 1938-45 and to present the idea that the tragedy of the Holocaust did not merely have causes, which can be described as political or economic or exclusively psychiat- ric (which is perhaps the most dangerous simplification), but that a significant part of what happened is explainable from the point of view of social psychology. To integrate researches in the two aforementioned scientific disciplines (legal history and so- cial psychology) in a coherent unit I chose to use the Czech penal law's concept of elements of crime. There are five elements of crime and my thesis consists of five chapters with accord- ing titles: Object of the Holocaust, Objective aspect of the Holocaust, Subject of the...

Zabuďková, Miriam ; Doubek, Vratislav (advisor) ; Buben, Radek (referee)
The purpose of this diploma thesis is to cathegorize the Slovak Republic (1938-1945) in the non-democratic regimes typology, primarily with regard to theories of Fascism and regimes in the "grey zone" between Fascism and Authoritarianism. The thesis explains the dynamics of Fascisation in Europe in the mid-war period, and places the Slovak Republic to this context of "the Fascist era". In the practical part, it will be dealt with divisions of the regime internally and in the Hlinka's Slovak People's Party. Based on this, the Slovak regime will be defined as Parafascist. Keywords Fascism; (First) Slovak Republic; Slovak State; Hlinka's Slovak People's Party; Para- Fascism; Hlinka Guard; Jozef Tiso; Alexander Mach
