The chosen correspondence for this dissertation is between the years 1944 and 1945 which was kept in the Personal Collection of RSDr. Václav Jakl (1938-1985) and stored in State Regional Archive in Pilsen. The correspondence consists of a letter that he used to exchange with his family and friends. The letters describe both the everyday life of people in forced labour as well as the life of people in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The first chapter of this dissertation is dedicated to the methodology used in the dissertation, the method of oral history, resources and literature. For the purpose of the dissertation, it was vital to focus on correspondence as a historical recourse to highlight the possible complications and issues that the researcher could encounter during their research.

The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia: law as an instrument of Nazi expansion
Pivarčeková, Zuzana ; Adamová, Karolina (advisor) ; Soukup, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis deals with the role of the law in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1939-1945) during its economic exploitation, Germanisation and categorisation of the population as a prerequisite for an end solution to the so-called Jewish and Czech question in the plans of the Nazis. It focuses on forming this "law of lawfulness", its content and enforceability and comes to the conclusion that rule-making at that time played an important, above all, organisation-related role in implementing occupation order, however if this was an obstacle to rapid and radical solutions, it became a burden which the Nazis replaced with injustices in the form of special treatment (Sonderbehandlung) of martial law, executions and deportation to concentration camps. An example of the instrumental abuse of the law on behalf of the Nazis to pursue their expansion plans leads us to the general conclusion that to safeguard against abusing the law to control others cannot rely on the law alone, but also requires a democratically functioning society and a conscious historical memory of nations.

Aldorf, Lukáš ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Štefko, Martin (referee) ; Stránský, Jaroslav (referee)
Forced Labour in the Czech Republic Abstract The submitted dissertation thesis examines so far neglected issue of forced labour in the Czech Republic in its complexity, i.e. both its lawful (e.g. work performed by imprisoned persons) and unlawful forms. It seeks to discover whether the present law (and extra-legal regulation) on this topic is sufficient. For this purpose it examines not only the corresponding law across individual branches of law, but also its place in the historical and moral- philosophical context. In the first parts, the submitted thesis deals with the existence of free will as a precondition of considering a work freely chosen and with the existence and content of objective morality as a precondition of considering anything morally right.
