Summary/Abstract: Jan Lomoz was an important pre-War figure in the Prague diocese of the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church. Naturally, the Second World War had a tragic impact on his fate. Because of his position, he came under Gestapo scrutiny after the occupation. After he failed to express sufficient or, indeed, any enthusiasm for his Church’s joining the ranks of the League against Bolshevism, he was arrested on the orders of Karl Herman Frank and imprisoned in a concentration camp. He managed to survive the War, albeit only by being lucky enough to overcome a serious illness, and he returned to Prague with a willingness to get involved in Church activities once more. Naturally, he was hugely disappointed to discover that the leadership of the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church of that time was no longer interested in his services. Jan Lomoz ended up living out his days in seclusion. He died in March 1957.
