The Jews in Hluboka nad Vltavou and their architectural and historical monuments

This thesis is focused on the history of the Jewish community in Hluboka nad Vltavou and architectural and historical sights created by this community (synagogue, cemetery). The introduction deals in development of the Jewish community in this town starting from the period of its arrival till the perishing of the Jewish municipality in the course of the Wolrd War II., as a result of genocide of its members by means of Nazist´s death camps. The main part of the thesis describes the establishment factors, existence, and downfall of the Jewish cemetery and synagogue and also considers the architectural and historical development of these monuments. For the better connection of the history, architecture and religious rules, except the fine art´s elements and photographic documentation, I also inccluded the most successful epitaphs and their translations with some Hebrew transriptions, which are put in the supplements
