The 'Jewish department' of the Police Headquaters in Prague and its role in the 'Solution to the Jewish Question' in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia

Original language description

This study focuses on the activities of a special department at the Police Headquarters Prague (PHP), later an independent commissariat, which was responsible for 'Jewish' affairs between 1939 and 1945. It describes the circumstances surrounding the establishment of this department, as well as its staffing, activities, and the powers of specific officials with regard to the development of anti-Jewish policy in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. On the basis of several concrete cases of anti-Jewish persecution, it details the methods used by this department and by its individual officials. Attention is also paid to the department’s specific procedures that were developed in co-operation with the various departments of the Prague Gestapo. It also reflects on the fates of specific officials from the PHP’s 'Jewish department' after the end of the war, focusing on the manner and extent of their punishment by the post-war Czechoslovak judiciary.
