Cílem této diplomové práce je identifikovat charakteristické prvky literatury zabývající se Holokaustem. Teoretická část mapuje způsob, jakým společnost, a zvláště židovská společnost, chápe Holokaust. Zároveň řeší, jak se Judaismus dívá na fikci, zejména pak na fikci spojenou s Holokaustem. Druhá část se pak zabývá analýzou jednotlivých příběhů, osmi povídek a jednoho románu, od sedmi autorů, a to od Rebeccy Goldstein, Bernarda Malamuda, Gordona Lishe, Philipa Rotha, Cynthie Ozick, Rebeccy Makkai a Budda Schulberga. Příběhy jsou zkoumány odděleně, přičemž je hlavní důraz kladen na významné motivy vzhledem k Holokaustu a rozbor jednotlivých postav. Závěrečný oddíl poukazuje na společné prvky povídek, stejně jako na jejich rozdíly, a určuje nejvýraznější prvky literatury Holokaustu.

Zásady pro vypracování
The student will present an interpretation and analysis of Jewish American literary fiction responding to the Holocaust (or the systematic murder of Jews in Europe organized by Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s). The authors of these works are either American-born Jews or Jewish immigrants who wrote their fiction in the United States, so to a great extent it is America which is the place which offers to them a particular (distant) perspective of this traumatic event in history. The loss of religion and family, assimilation in the United States and feelings of chaos and confusion are among the pervading motifs in these novels. Often the conditions of Jewish immigrants from Poland or Germany who escaped to America to avoid racial prosecution by Nazis are given from the narrative perspective of survivors.
