    This bachelor thesis focused on the issue of the needs of seniors of the Jewish Community Liberec, based on the assumption that holocaust survivors have reduced mobility, impaired memory and orientation, and demonstrates the need for assistance when performing personal hygiene. Its goal was to map the social and medical needs of seniors of the Jewish Community Liberec. The established goal of the thesis has been achieved. The thesis was comprised of two pivotal areas. This involved a theoretical section, which aided in mapping, and the presentation of expert sources describing the issue of seniors who survived the Holocaust. The practical section, with the help of a questionnaire, determined the number and spectrum of the social and medical needs of seniors of the Jewish Community Liberec. The complete sample totalled 30 respondents. Using the questionnaire examination, basic information was determined regarding the needs of Jewish seniors. The results showed that the respondents do not suffer from impaired memory or orientation, but have impaired mobility and a growing number of respondents need help when performing personal hygiene. The background information acquired was used for creating a system to determine the needs of Jewish seniors to enable them to live as long as possible in a home environment with support of their independence in all areas of social life. For the greatest benefit of the thesis from the standpoint of resolved issues, it was possible to consider registering the Jewish Community for social services providers.
