Burian V.: Vystěhovalecký fond, úřadovna Brno 1939-1945. Inventář, 1965, s. 85, ev.č. 3158. The Emigration Fund is important for discovering the size of Jewish home assets, and for drawing a conclusion from it about the scale of Nazi plundering of Jewish property. The files contain contracts about compulsory sale, official valuation of real estate, expressions of owners about state of real estate, extract from land registry, notification of office of land council about establishment of fiduciary, lease agreements, proceedings for the sale of real estate, inventory records and correspondence with tenants and caretakers and others. The frequent official records with date and number of transport to concentration camps constitute a valuable source of information about the persecution of the Jews.
