Gestapo na Moravě
The Gestapo in Moravia

Summary/Abstract: Černý, Vladimír: Brněnské gestapo 1939–1945 a poválečné soudní procesy s jeho příslušníky. Brno: Archiv města Brna and Moravské zemské muzeum, 2018, 424 pp., ISBN 978-80-86736-58-7 and 978-80-7028-507-7 .The reviewed work titled The Gestapo in Brno 1939–1945 and post-war trials with its members is the first comprehensive monograph mapping in detail the operations of the centre of the Nazi repressive machine in Moravia and also one of just a few publications dealing with the Gestapo’s presence and activities in the territory of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in general. At the same time, it describes, in the form of case studies, the complex process of the post-war settling of accounts with perpetrators of Nazi crimes before the Extraordinary People’s Court (Mimořádný lidový soud) in Brno. The reviewer describes the contents of each chapter and concludes that, in spite of some minor deficiencies, the book is a solid and logically structured monograph which relies, first and foremost, on the author’s long term research of an extensive source base.
