Summary/Abstract: The list of those who died as a result of persecution by the communist regime also includes the name of Alois Jaroš, not listed just once, as might be expected, but actually twice. One of them was the owner of the Zvěstov chateau near Benešov until 1948, and his life ended when he was executed in Prague-Pankrác prison. He was sentenced to death in the trial called “František Slepička et al.”. The other Alois Jaroš was in no way related to the former. He was an MP for the Czech National Social Party (ČSNS) and died while in custody as a result of a serious illness.
