Zbierka IX. Nacistické okupačné jednotky

Collection has been created by the purchased or donated material. Collection contains various documents dedicated to the activities of Nazi occupation forces which were operating in Slovakia after the outbreak of the Slovak National Uprising on August 29, 1944. Suppression of the armed uprising, which dominantly took place in the Central Slovakia with the center in the city of Banská Bystrica, was accompanied also by the massive and intentional persecution of the rest of the Jewish community in the Slovak territory. Material includes numerous information about mass executions in Kremnička and also about the later exhumation of the mass grave as well as the other sites of mass persecutions such as Kalište. Various documents investigate the acting of the Edelweiss unit and Einsatzgruppe H and its head Josef Witiska. One of the most relevant and unique material concerns the book of people arrested by Gestapo in the years 1944 – 1945 from the prison of the Regional Court in Banská Bystrica.
