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 is accessible only with director´s permission.
