Paradoxically, the main protagonist of the Czech novel is a German woman (Käthe) while a Czech woman (Božena) is the central character of the German novella. Both characters differ from the vast majority of the people living in Czechoslovakia. Since Käthe is of German origin and has been active in the anti-fascist movement in the German Reich, and Božena has had a deep affectionfor a German lawyer, her employer. Consequently, Käthe and Božena are both stigmatized and excluded from the society ending up on its fringe. Our paper analyses the reasons for their social exclusion as well as the influence of the socie
