Biographical History
The Praha-venkov-jih District Office began to operate in 1942 on the territory of the abolished Praha-venkov District Office (Zbraslav, Jílové and Říčany judicial districts). It was headed by a German governor, who was also the head of the Reichsauftragverwaltung. It was abolished in 1945 and replaced by a national committee, from which the districts of Jílové and Říčany were separated. During the Nazi occupation, three municipalities - Hostěradice, Hradištko and Pikovice - were forcibly displaced and a military training camp of the occupiers was established on their territory. In 1943, it was changed to the Hradištko concentration camp. About 500 political prisoners of various nationalities were imprisoned there, and many of them perished.
