Summary/Abstract: This article considers the theme of the Shoah in the literary works of Ota B. Kraus (1921– 2000), a distinguished Czech and Israeli writer, whose work became available to the Czech public only shortly after World War II and then not until the 1990s. The article briefly introduces the author’s main literary works set in the so-called Terezín Family Camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau, BIIb – the novel Země bez Boha and Můj bratr dým. The second part of the article analyses his other novels, short stories, and poems from the point of view of the themes of the persecution of the Jews and the Shoah.
