English Translation

62 *f 1. After the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Mühren (16.3.1959), the secret state police were also faced with great and new tasks in the field of capture and confiscation of wealth-enemy assets. This space, after the seizure of power, had become the asylum and playground of all the elements set against the empire, in which Judaism, the Marxist and Communist organizations as well as the fanatical Czech chauvinism undertook everything to harm the empire.With the strengthening of National Socialism and the annexation of the Austrian and Sudeten German territories to the empire there had occurred in the Protectorate an accumulation of refugee assets, which was to be deprived of the access of the German authorities. The above-mentioned organizations as well as the Jews were clear that the kingdom would primarily resort to its property, therefore, it took all steps to disguise its assets, and forced them to move away as quickly as possible. In particular, the Jews who had been given considerable assets had to be concerned. If the economy and trade were already a strong dominance of the Jews before the rise of power in the Protectorate, the newly introduced Jew's fortune has considerably increased Jewish influence in these areas. Of all lawyers in Bohemia in 1962 and 1962, 622 Jews, of 1233 in Prague, were 449 Jews. Similarly, the relationship with doctors and other liberal professions was similar. Even well before the establishment of the Protectorate, the Jews tried to liquidate their assets laid in Czechoslovakia, and very large wealth-bearers, such as the Petachek Jewish family, were already buried in the summer of 1983 with the transfer of their property.
