The article reflects upon remembrance of uranium mining and its political repercussions in Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany. The author uses various ecocritical writings to analyze the narratives of human exploitation (forced labour and political prisoners) and environmental devastation (landscape and human settlements). As a result she finds common motives. These include acts of remembering or certain generic features, which invite comparative analysis of Miedzianka, Jáchymov and “Wismut”. The author concludes that after 1989 the three uranium mines undergo a similar transformation process and turn into lieux de memoires.

The study deals with marriages, concluded mainly by German residents in the Jáchymov district in the years 1949-1950. Marriages between different groups of inhabitants demonstrate the manifold migration background of residents in the monitored region, and they are also analysed as a possible way to resolve life situations, associated with the migrations. The monitored region and the theme of marriages is first presented based on basic demographic indicators. The issues of marriages and marriage rate are then analysed in the context of the post-war national and migration policy, including the circumstances under which the major source set for the study developed. Subsequently, the study exemplifies, based on the files studied, various migration and life situations experienced by members of different population groups, categorized based on ethnicity, migration origin, and several further criteria. The study shows that some aspects of the social reality, researched on a micro-scale, significantly breach the image of a total breakup and isolation of national communities in the borderlands. The reality did even not correspond to the ideologically postulated imperative of borderlands purge. The closing note assesses the observed marriages from the perspective of diverse types of common life strategies of the German minority in Czechoslovakia after the end of the main wave of forced displacement, and from the perspective of the research into family memory.
