Abstracts

The aim of the paper is to identify the frameworks in which the interpretations of the Jewish past in the second half of the 20th century were and are constructed, with emphasis on its conceptualization in the Czech Republic and the importance of the Holocaust. In accordance with constructivism the author follows various forms of Holocaust memory and its relationship to the official historical interpretations of the past. She perceives memory as a discursive practice and the interpretation of the past as a process of negotiation between the communicative and cultural memory. In addressing the context of discussion about Jewish past and present in political, social and academic discourses, she focuses on issues which are significant outside as well as inside the Czech area.
