Biographical History

he District Office in Hlohovec was a state administration body. It was established during the period of 1st Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938) and it existed also during the period of the Slovak state/ Slovak Republic (1939-1945). Since 1 January 1940, the Hlohovec district was incorporated into the the newly established Nitra County (Nitrianska župa) and was subordinated to the County Office of the Nitra County (Župný úrad Šarišsko-zemplínskej župy) with the seat in Nitra. The District Chief (Okresný náčelník) was the head of District Office in Hlohovec with the responsibility for the state administration in the district as well as the work of the District Office. From 1 January 1940 District Chief was subordinated to the respected County Office and the Ministry of Interior. District Offices were superior to the local notary offices and regional notary offices which were the lowest level bodies of the state administration in Slovakia 1938-1945. Due to the fact that in the period 1938-1945 the vaste majority of anti-Jewish measures in Slovakia were put to life by the state administration bodies archival documents of District Offices represent some of the most important sources for the research of Holocaust in Slovakia.
