Jews in the Protectorat and attempts of their rescure
Hlinovská, Květoslava ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Arava-Novotná, Lena (referee)
This thesis is about modern Jewish history in the territory of Czechoslovakia, specifically the history of 2WW. It maps the fate of Jews under the new circumstances that had prevailed right after the declaration of the Protectorat of Bohemia and of Moravia, on the 15th of March, 1939. In keeping with those changes according to the new political system that was forcibly implemented, new and new anti-Jewish regulations were published with a view of total displacement of Jews from society and their total liquidation in compliance with Hitler's "final solution". It emphasizes some attempts to save Jews not only by "ordinary non-aryan people", but also by the Jewish resistance and last but not least by the government in exile. This work attempts to explain what led rescuers to their actions and their motivations, including some known rescuers, such as Nicholas Winton and Přemysl Pitter.

This bachelor thesis is devoted to the life and work of writer and journalist Jiří Mucha in selected years from 1937 to 1948 . This period is further divided into three phases, the pre- war (1937-1939), war (1939-1945) and postwar (1947-1948) period. For each era are allocated three most important periodicals which formed the strongest pillar of Mucha's work. These are the Lidové noviny, magazine The Czechoslovak and Svobodné noviny. The thesis is also focused on Mucha's other publications from 1929 to his death in 1991. Each chapter contains information on the socio-historical situation, the status of the media at the time and also discusses specifics of Mucha's contributions to the above mentioned publications. The aim of this thesis is to map Mucha's benefit especially in the field of journalism and also to bring his personality closer. What is more, another aim is to compare the various creative periods by method of comparative analysis or what impact his writing had on the socio-historical events.

Conflict of Generations in the Mirror of the Protectorate Collaborators Press
Nezdařil, Petr ; Václavů, Lubor (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to cover the variability of the protectorate press propaganda in relation to the generational and social belonging of the target readership group. This has been researched through analysing three collaboration newspapers - Arijský boj, Zteč and Přítomnost. Propagandist images have been reconstructed based on an analysis of three large topics, namely depicting the classes of the protectorate intellectuals, the youth and finally the Jewish minority. Except for covering the specific propagandist techniques, the aim is also an attempt to evaluate the perspectives of accepting these images by the protectorate society, and of explaining why they failed. Due to the primary sources that were used in the research, presented thesis affects mainly the period between 1942 and 1945.

Nazi propaganda with the theme of judaism in Národní politika (1939-1941)
Blichová, Larisa ; Dolanský, Pavel (advisor) ; Lysoňková, Lenka (referee)
The thesis is making a qualitative analysis of the Nazi propaganda in Národní politika during the period 1939-1941. These first three years of World War II were most important in shaping the cooperation between the media and the occupying power. The thesis is focused on anti-Semitic propaganda and its development during those three years in one of the most highly read daily newspaper in the Protectorate. Through the examples of a few chosen articles and adverts, this propaganda is shown concretely. The texts are analysed to reveal their true meaning, as well as the real authors and readers. By real authors, I mean the Nazis and the occupying power, as most of the articles from the following period are missing a signature. Texts are chosen from different times of year and from different sections of the paper, and each chapter includes a short overview of the historical context. There is a summary of propaganda tools, trend changes in protectorate communications, and changes in showing Jews at the end of the thesis.
