MULTILATERAL REPRESENTATION OF SHOAH EVENTS IN SELECTED FICTION TEXTS: PRESENTATION OF RESEARCH RESULTS.

In this paper, we present selected results of a probing research investigation that focused on the degree of reception and interpretation of selected literary texts in which the multilateral view of the Shoah or Holocaust is thematized. The respondents of the research were pupils of all grades of the Czech lower-secondary school. After an introduction in which we present the research methodology and briefly outline the potential of artistic narratives that contain a multilateral view of the defined events, we present the results of the research investigation. A multilateral perspective not only on the phenomenon of the Shoah or the Holocaust can develop students´ ability to critically evaluate information and can hone their argumentation skills. Finally, these works prevent a schematic view of defined events, which can lead to the prevention of forming hasty opinions or making unfounded or unreasoned judgments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
