Jüdische Opfer Nazi-Deutschlands aus den Böhmischen Ländern 1938 - 1945

This contribution quantifies the Jewish victims in and from the territory of Czech Lands during the Nazi occupation. The reconstruction is based mainly on materials from Czech archives, such as lists of Jewish inhabitants and monthly reports of the SD and Gestapo. The author analyses the numbers of both those dead who lived in the area (including the border area annexed by Germany after Munich Agreement) and those who escaped from Czech lands and were captured in other European countries. Moreover, on top of the at least 72,000 who died in this manner, the author also identifies an other 1,700 people who died during Schutzhaft, as well as 56 Czech Jews executed in course of the two martial law periods. The remaining 1 100 people were killed fighting on the side of Allies. Therefore, based on these figures, we may assume that the estimate of 80,000 Jewish victims to be a correct one.
