Summary/Abstract: Financial prosecutors’ offices were one of the branches of the Czechoslovak state administration in the 1950s. They were responsible for defending the interests of the state in official proceedings of all kinds. Among other things, they dealt with matters relating to the restitution of property of legal and natural persons of Jewish origin who had suffered during the years of Nazi occupation. The records of the Financial Prosecutor’s Office in České Budějovice (Budweis), which are now housed in the State Regional Archives Třeboň, contain files on specific cases in which relatives of Jewish victims of Nazi persecution sought redress for property injustices committed by the Nazis. These files provide an interesting record of the restitution proceedings and of the frequent obstacles placed in their way by the state authorities.
