In 2002 the Czech Parliament even adopted a law compensating these victims. Despite this, it is still an issue which Czech historiography has not yet deal with sufficiently. In recent years the professional and non-professional public pays only marginal attention to this. The article provides a basic overview of the current state of knowledge. It focuses on basic issues such as the state of the sources, the specialized literature, the numbers of deported people and the circumstances of their returns.
