District Gendarmerie Headquarters of Trutnov

The archival fonds of the Trutnov District Gendarmerie Headquarters contains records from 1938. As the records are kept in a single box, it may be assumed that they are only a fraction of the creator's original files. All that has been preserved are various reports of crimes and offences. The reports include information on the posting of anti-Jewish posters in Jičín, on the appointment of the forced administrator Stöhr from Rochlitz to the Jewish firm of D. Glaser (a mechanical spinning mill), on an anti-Jewish gathering in Vrchlabí on 10 November 1938, on the arrest of Jews from Vrchlabí on charges of theft, and on the torching of a synagogue and a ritual building (Beit Tahara) on the Jewish cemetery in Trutnov in the early hours of 11 November 1938.

The fonds has not been arranged. It consists of files in a single box, arranged in chronological order. It is highly likely that the filing system has not been preserved. There is only fragmentary material relating to the period between 13 October 1938 and 10 December 1938.
