The assignment of the diploma thesis was the elaboration of an architectural study of a new synagogue in the town of Trutnov, on the site of the original Jewish synagogue, which was burned down during the November pogrom, the so-called Crystal Night in 1938. Nowadays, the synagogue area is modified and serves as a place of reverence to honour the memory of the victims and to commemorate these historical events. The result of the design is a new community centre. Its goal is to restore the existence and support the development of the Jewish community, which disappeared in Trutnov after the Second World War. In the area there is the seat of the Jewish community, a ritual cleansing bath Mikveh, Kosher restaurant and a new synagogue, which respects the location of the former synagogue on the site of the original foundations. The new Jewish community centre ensures the operation of the entire Jewish community in Trutnov. Part of the Jewish community centre is a large courtyard, which is used to celebrate Jewish holidays and also as a summer terrace for Kosher restaurant, which will be used by the Jewish community, but also by the inhabitants of Trutnov. This creates an attractive place to spend free time with a view of the nearby Giant Mountains and the historic centre of Trutnov, but at the same time it is protected from the bustle of the adjacent main street.

Diploma thesis theme is design of a new synagogue in the city of Trutnov on a memorial site of the original unpreserved synagogue. Part of the construction program is the creation of a complex used by the Jewish religious community and its members, containing a building for the Jewish community (administrative and educational use), kosher restaurants with use for the general public, and the Museum of Jewish Culture. The aim of the design is to create a set of buildings functioning as a whole respecting the natural landmark of the surroundings and the historical significance referring to the past. The new synagogue is designed as the dominant feature of the whole complex in the place of the original Jewish prayer house and emphasizes the monumentality of the place connected with nature. Other facilities are located in front of the synagogue and create a new public space for locals but also visitors to the city from a wide area not only for spiritual use but also for cultural, social, and recreational.

The assignment of the diploma thesis was the elaboration of an architectural study of a new synagogue in the Frýdek-Místek. The solved area includes the original lands of the Jewish community, on which stood a synagogue, a Jewish school and a rabbinate. The synagogue was burned down in 1939 and currently only the rebuilt Jewish school building is located in the area. The main idea of the design is to build a memorial on the site of the original synagogue and a new synagogue with an adjoining community centre. The main goal is to support the development of the Jewish community in the city and to remind citizens and visitors of the history, because of which the Jewish community in Frýdek-Místek disappeared. In contrast to the monument, the entire building is set in the terrain so that the terrain passes freely in a public space with the main entrance to the community centre and a kosher restaurant. The building opens up to the south side of the slope and offers a view of the historic city centre of Frýdek. The area is connected by a footbridge to the park under the castle. Part of the community centre is a space for a ritual bath - Mikveh, the administration of the Jewish community and a multifunctional hall, which can be opened to the area in front of the residential staircase. The area is separated from Revoluční Street by a retaining wall and thus form an attractive place to spend time near the historic centre.

The thesis explores differences among values and traditions of various (christian and jewish) social services run by religious NGO and focuses on strategies how non-religous employees cope with their work in such organizations. The thesis is focused on two Christian organizations (Charita, Diakonie) and one jewish organization run by Jewish Community. The thesis describes a history of church social services and their present state, questions of interactions between individual and corporal identities, culture of organization, faith and influence of the group. The specific characteristics of organizations run by church are part of their culture and should be a part of the way they are being managed too. Besides describing strategies used by employees who do not belong to the church, the thesis also describes some recommendations for the management, which would be also benefitial for employees' support. The aim of the thesis is not to compare Christian and Jewish institutions, but to focus on their specifics, which influence workers from the outside. In the research part the thesis tries to map attitudes of these employees, their strategies of managing differences, which they meet while working for religious NGOs.

The diploma thesis deals with the Jewish Council of Elders in Prague, whose existence is defined in the years 1943-1945. The administrative body, which was formally established by renaming the wartime Jewish Community of Prague in February 1943, was obliged to carry out orders from superior authorities and act as an intermediary between the Nazi leadership and the persecuted Jewish population. Earlier emigration, retraining and care activities were replaced by the liquidation tasks and the management of other activities, which in consequence were to lead to the complete destruction of Jewish life in the occupied Bohemia and Moravia. The diploma thesis focuses on the historical and organizational development of the above-mentioned Jewish council from its inception to liquidation in the post-war period, as well as on the activities of departments and the fates of some employees. The organization is set in the context of the final phase of Jewish persecution, which in the period under review focused mainly on so-called Mischlinge and Jews from mixed marriages, and the Nazi policy of liquidation of Jewish communities and establish of Jewish councils. The thesis is based on the use and comparison of archival sources, periodicals, source editions or memories of contemporary witnesses. The main part of...

Quelle population hétérogène que celle des Justes parmi les nations de Rhône-Alpes, et, par cette caractéristique même, peu saisissable ! S’ils ne sauraient, à eux seuls, représenter la totalité des situations de sauvetage, les Justes éclairent, par le simple fait qu’ils existent, un pan de la résistance civile sous l’Occupation. Ces hommes, ces femmes, appartiennent à une région originale, comme prédestinée à l’accueil. La diversité de ses paysages en fait le terrain d’expérimentation de toutes les formes de tourisme. Pays pratiquant, Rhône-Alpes est également le terreau d’expériences religieuses nouvelles et le berceau de la démocratie chrétienne. Région carrefour, ouverte, son pouvoir d’attraction se renforce sous l’Occupation, avec l’arrivée de flux nombreux d’exilés, de juifs notamment, qui s’efforcent d’y reprendre une vie « normale ». Les rafles de l’été 1942 font, soudainement, de l’aide dispensée aux réfugiés traqués une question de survie. Des hommes, des femmes, mus par des valeurs communes, encouragés par les ecclésiastiques qui les entourent, se mobilisent. Naissent ainsi de véritables chaînes de solidarité, transformant des bourgs ou des villages en territoires refuges, des individus anonymes en héros « ordinaires ». / What a heterogeneous population that the Righteous among the nations of Rhône-Alpes and, by this way, little comprehensible! If they don’t embody all the situations of the rescue, the Righteous enlighten, only because they do exist, a piece of the civilian Resistance under the Occupation. These people belong to an unusual region, as fated for the welcome. Its various landscapes led to the experiment of all the types of tourism. This practicing country is also the ground of new religious experiences and the cradle of the Christian democracy. The appeal of this crossroads strengthens under the Occupation with the arrival of exiles, Jews in particular, who try to take back their former life. The raids of the summer 1942 make suddenly the help to the pursued people a question of survival. Moved by common values, encouraged by the clerics who surround them, people mobilize. Thus real networks of support arise, transforming villages into sanctuaries, common people into heroes.

Notre examen de la reconfiguration de la propriété privée durant les régimes communistes et postcommunistes a comme point de départ une interrogation banale qui, depuis l’ouvrage canonique de Laswell, Politics. Who gets what, when, and how ?est considérée essentielle pour la compréhension des processus politiques :qui sont les principaux bénéficiaires / perdants de ces métamorphoses du régime de la propriété ?<p><p>Pour formuler une réponse à cette interrogation, nous avons structuré notre analyse en trois parties.<p><p>La première partie, "La Propriété urbaine dans la Roumanie (post)socialiste. Politique et politiques publiques", dresse un tableau général de la transformation socialiste et postsocialiste de la propriété privée en milieu urbain. Ce tableau général concerne tant le cadre normatif et institutionnel, que les acteurs socio-politiques qui essaient de s’impliquer dans l’élaboration des politiques publiques. <p><p>Les deux études de cas qui constituent la deuxième et la troisième partie de la thèse examinent la construction juridico-politique des « gagnants » et des « perdants » de ces processus de reconfiguration de la propriété :La propriété et « l’ethno-nation » dans la Roumanie (post)socialiste. Le cas de la communauté juive (2e partie), respectivement Métamorphoses (post)socialistes d’un « quartier rouge ». Propriété et élites politiques en Roumanie (3e partie). <p><p>Pour analyser la construction des « perdants », le rapport qui s’établit entre "La propriété et « l’ethno-nation » dans la Roumanie (post)socialiste. Le cas de la communauté juive" nous a semblé un observatoire privilégié. La principale raison tient à l’ingéniosité des méthodes d’expropriation imaginées par les communistes pour la spoliation économique des différentes minorités ethniques ou religieuses et à la diversité des raisons invoquées par les législateurs postcommunistes pour différer la restitution de certaines de ces propriétés. Nous présumons que dans l’histoire de la « propriété juive » nous pourrions également appréhender un processus de construction (post)socialiste d’une « communauté imaginée », homogène, ethno-nationale, d’un « rapport particulier qui existerait entre l’État, la propriété et l’identité nationales » (Verdery 1998 :298).<p><p>Après des reconfigurations radicales de la sphère économique et l’étatisation des propriétés (industrielles, immobilières, foncières), l’unique catégorie sociale qui pouvait disposer discrétionnairement de la propriété nationalisée était la nomenklatura communiste. La 3e partie de la thèse, "Métamorphoses (post)socialistes d’un « quartier rouge ». Propriété et élites politiques en Roumanie", retrace l’histoire du quartier de la nomenklatura, situé au nord de Bucarest, de ses habitants d’avant 1989 et de leurs avatars postcommunistes. L’histoire politique du quartier se superpose à l’histoire des élites dirigeantes de la Roumanie et est révélatrice pour les rapports entre les différentes factions formées à l’intérieur du Parti, les épurations, les réhabilitations. Elle représente également un observatoire privilégié pour les rapports que le Parti Communiste Roumain entretient avec Kremlin, ainsi qu’avec d’autres partis communistes. Finalement, l’histoire postcommuniste du même quartier peut fournir une réponse à une question apparemment très simple, à savoir « qu’est-ce qui change après 1989 » ?Par cette étude de cas nous nous proposons de « tester » la thèse du « capitalisme politique », selon laquelle on assisterait après 1989 à une transmutation du capital politique que la nomenklatura communiste détenait en capital économique.<p> / Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
