Matriky židovských náboženských obcí v českých krajích

Holocaust-related material was categorised into classes as follows: death certificates from Theresienstadt (1941-12-03 to 1943-09-05), recorded deaths in Theresienstadt (in alphabetical order by the names A - Z) and alphabetical card index lists of persons. Requests for additional entries to the registers of death in Theresienstadt were prepared on the basis of death certificates and kept in two series. The first series in alphabetic order consists of actual death records in the register of deaths of Theresienstadt. The second series is arranged numerically and consists of the applications for registration of deaths assigned to the Jewish Community in Prague, the ONV (Okresní národní vybor) Litoměřice and the Episcopal consistory ibid. All of these applications are actually duplicates and date from 1948. The second large group of registry documents ( 45 boxes) are declarations of death of those who did not survive deportation and their fate was not known, issued in the period 1946-1948/1950 by District Court competent for the last residence of the Holocaust victims. Court decisions should be entered in the registers of deaths, but to make such a large number of additional registration was not possible for a single archivist in charge of the Jewish registers. These were digitised directly in the National Archives and will be published on the National Archives website. Another group of documents consists of medical examinations and death certificates for Prague (1942-1949), autopsies and death certificates for Prague outside of Prague (1944-1949), autopsies and deaths certifications for Prague for Teplice (A - Z) and birth reports from Teplice (A - Z). At the time the collection of registers of births, marriages or death (or Jewish registers only) were transferred to the administration of the Jewish community in Prague, which was based on reports from communities outside of Prague. The Jewish community in Teplice (Teplitz) had their own civil registration separately. Similar reports completed by civil registers were also made in Prague, Trutnov (Trautenau), Ústí nad Labem (Aussig) and Děčín (Tetschen). Another major group consists of closed (by name, A - Z) a pending application for change of name, as well as documents relating to divorce, adoption, guardianship, etc. and a collection of master documents for the reconstruction of entries ​​(A - Z). After sorting each group of documents has been assigned a inventory number. The collection closes the original lists of registers from previous institutions and the several master documents.
