Biographical History

After World War II the Czechoslovak government founded in June 1945 the National Property Administration (Národní správa majetkových podstat, NSMPO), which administered assets that were forfeit during the occupation of the country by their original owners because of their national, political, or racial persecution. The most important institution involved in the process of Aryanization in Bohemia and Moravia was the Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung in Prag/ Zentralamt für die Regelung der Judenfrage in Böhmen und Mähren (Central Office for Jewish Emigration in Prague/ Central Office for the Regulation of the Jewish Question). The NSMPO took over documents from different German institutions which were involved into the Aryanization process of Jewish property during the Nazi-occupation in the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia and in the "Sudetengau" connected to the German Reich after the Munich Agreement in 1938. These organisations were for the Protectorate mainly the Office of the Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia (Úřad říšského protektora v Čechách a na Moravě) and different Oberlandrats (Úřad vrchního zemského rady), but also the Ministry of Finances (Ministerstvo financy/Finanzministerium), different banks, the Warenverwertungsgesellschaft (Společnost pro zhodnocování zboží), the Handelsgesellschaft mbH (Hadega) and others. In the Sudetengau the most important institutions in this process were the Reichskommissar für die sudetendeutsche Gebiete and the Regierungspräsidents (Vládní president) in Aussig, Eger and Troppau and the Oberlandrats.

Archival History

The collection "Aryanization files" is from different creators. The documents in the collection "Aryanization files" are from the foreign exchange department of the NSMPO. The work of the NSMPO was 1950 ended by the Fund of National Renewal (Fond národní obnovy) and the documents dealing with foreign exchange assets were given to the State Central Archives/Státni ústřední archiv in Prague (today National Archives/Národní archiv).
