The paper is concerned with the adaptation of members of the Jewish community in Bratislava to the social changes which took place in Czechoslovakia after 1945. The author illustrates the consequences of the Shoa on the demographic structure of the community, forms of the family and value orientations of individuals. He takes note of the attempt of Orthodox believers at a renewal of religious life, but also the conflicts in opinions between traditionally and secularly orientated members of the Jewish Religious Community (ŽNO). He also devotes attention to the Zionist movement. In the second half of the 1940s this played an important role because, particularly for younger people, its ideology replaced religion in the system of values. After the accession to power of the Communist Party the community was obliged to adapt once again to a totalitarian regime. The response to August 1968 was a mass emigration of the younger and middle generation, which notably restricted the activities of the community in the subsequent period. In the period of normalisation the ŽNO, as a “community under control”, concentrated only on basic religious activities. The final part of the study briefly focuses on the situation after November 1989. At that time there was a vigorous attempt at revitalisation. However, the centre of attention was social and cultural activities, not religious life.

The current collective shared memory of the Jewish minority in the Czech lands, which influenced social relations after the so-called Velvet Revolution, works with two powerful narratives: the fate of the Jews during the Second World War and the atheisation of the society following the February Coup, which also had an extraordinary impact on the Jewish community. Orthodox Jews actually use the term „Communist Holocaust“ for this period. The issue examined in this paper is the content and today ´use of the account of the government ´s control and repression of the Jewish religious community after the February Coup. This analysis, which is preceded by a list of the Jewish minority ´s opportunities in the Czech lands after the end of the Second World War, is divided into several basic historical periods: the period from 1948 to 1956 (the beginning of de-Stalinisation), the “Golden 60ies“ and so-called „Normalisation“ (1969-1989), which essentially completed the destruction of the Jewish religious landscape. The representation of over forty years following the February Coup rightfully became a means of legitimising minority interests and claims after 1989.

The aim of this paper is to name the relationship between memory, room and identity with the help of the term „cultural topography”. All of the named categories will be discussed constructivistically, which is in accordance with the latest research on room, memory and identity. The cultural targeted analysis are underlayed by several specific Polish and German novels, which concern oneself which the Shoa from various perspectives. To the regarded texts count those texts by authors of the third generation of Shoa-survivors, the so called later-born, and intellectual witnesses who have no biographical relation to the Holocaust but nevertheless feel ethically in bond of this topic. All for the analysis relevant texts grow out of certain semantics of emptiness, whose literal reconstruction is the main goal of this article.
