eng	To the Changes in Research on the Holocaust of Roma and Sinti in the Czech Republic / Reflection on the Case Study of Jan Jedlička	The paper outlined the changes in research on the heritage of the Holocaust of Roma and Sinti in the Czech Republic, or earlier in Czechoslovakia, from the 1970s to the present. It showed the contrast between the ways of processing testimonies before and after 1989 and the effects of cooperation with foreign institutions. It covered the methodological changes in these investigations influenced by generational change: from the formerly dominant oral history, through the gradual decline of witnesses, to projects associated with research together with descendants of survivors. On the basis of her own experience, the author reflected on the specifics of cooperation with members of the so-called 2nd and 3rd generation of survivors. The case study of Jan Jedlička, a rescued child and later a teacher and school headmaster, who was 6-7 years old at the time of the transport of Roma to the concentration camps, was used as a case study to remind us of the changes in methodological possibilities and the changes in the presentation of outcomes (i.e. changing the understanding of the question to whom the story as an output “belongs”). The paper presented the specific methodological procedure of a particular collaborative search between the researcher and the descendant of the survivor.
