Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on the process of the prosecution of Nazis and collaborators in the Jeseník region of the Czech Republic from 1945 to 1948. It focuses on the approach of the security and judicial apparatus to individual categories of the accused and on the comparison of this approach with other regions, especially in the adjacent areas of Western Silesia and Northern Moravia. In particular, the course and outcome of the trials of participants in Henlein’s Uprising of September 1938, exponents of the Nazi security apparatus, and party and public officials are followed. The research is based on court and police records and the contemporary press.
