The aim of the paper is to present the results of a research that was related to the issues regarding providing a medical care to Jewish patients. We can see the results here, obtained by a non-standardized questionnaire research that was carried out in Slovakia in 2013 and in the Czech Republic in 2014, including 1273 respondents, both non-medical health care employees and students from non-medical study branch (secondary schools and universities). Obtained results are clearly summarized in attached tables. The research has proved that 995 (78,2%) respondents are interested in including the issues of the specific care of patients with Jewish faith into the education. 932 (73,2%) respondents knew about the issue of holocaust and 757 (59,5%) recognized the impact of holocaust trauma. In conclusion, results have been summarized and recommendations for practice are given. The authors join others in the call to improve evaluation, treatment and support of trauma victims and their children to prevent the transmission of problems from one generation to the next.
