Útěk před totálním nasazením z Protektorátu Čechy a Morava do „Třetí říše“ v roce 1944
Escape from Total Commitment from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia to “The Third Reich” in 1944

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to reflect the situation in the Czech-German borderland during the Second World War, or more precisely, through the Narrator’s Marta Grulichová mediation to understand better the atmosphere of those days and the practices of the “defectors” moving from the area of today’s Bohemia to Germany. An interesting thing is the fact that the Narrator has got Jewish ancestors and according to the Nuremberg Laws, she would have probably been eliminated by the Nazi regime. The essay is proposing to analyze the motivation and the story of Narrator’s life, who in addition managed to escape with her sister Zdeňka Kavanová, whose evidence unfortunately cannot be obtained. The insight into specific circumstances and into the process of crossing the borders form Bohemia to the Third Reich is without any doubt very dramatic and the documentation of this event will surely be a great contribution. The next part of the essay deals with the life of the hereinbefore mentioned character mentioned above until the end of the Second World War and subsequent liberation of the occupied Czech territory and the conquest of Nazi Germany by the Allies; the main body of the essay are the lives of the two women, both of whom were making extra money in a well-off German family at which they lived.
