Summary/Abstract: The research on the Jewish family Böhm from Kladno, conducted by Irena Veverková, highlights the dramatic and often tragic experiences of Jewish residents in the 20th century. The Böhm family, who moved to Kladno in 1901, faced significant challenges, including the Nazi occupation and subsequent deportations. The family members were involved in various trades and integrated into the local community despite initial distrust. Detailed archival records, such as police registrations, school records, and property registers, provide insights into their lives. The family endured severe persecution during World War II, with many members deported to concentration camps. Otto Böhm, a notable family member, survived the Holocaust and later emigrated to Canada. The research underscores the importance of preserving historical records to understand the Jewish community's contributions and struggles. The study also highlights the broader social and political context of Jewish life in Kladno. The ongoing efforts to document and remember these histories are crucial for future generations. The project exemplifies the resilience and determination of Jewish families in the face of adversity.
