Komiks jako médium zobrazení holokaustu

Original language description

This Diploma thesis builds on my bachelor thesis on the use of pop culture in fictional depictions of the Holocaust. It examines the Nazi persecution of the Jews as presented in comics. This specific intersemiotic medium, which combines the practices of literature, visual arts, theatre and film, was considered inappropriate for depicting the tragic events of the Shoah for several decades after the war. It was not until Art Spiegelman's comic strip Maus (1980– 1991), which was initially rejected but eventually won the Pulitzer Prize, that a revolutionary change was brought about. Apart from this work, the thesis will look into other titles that thematize the Holocaust, i.e. Family Secrets and The Search (Heuvel et al.), Anne Frank. A Comic Biography (Jacobson and Colón), adaptation of Anne Frank's Diary (Folman and Polonsky), the wordless comic strip Knoflík (Pavel Čech), comics based on recordings of survivors for the „Paměť národa“ (one story in the Totální nasazení, two in the Ještě jsme ve válce), etc. The thesis will compare the individual works in terms of narrative, composition, language and stylistics. It will ask questions about the relationship between fact and fiction in each text, the influence of the comic genre on the image of Jews or Nazis, and the different treatment of this theme in comics for adults and children.
