Issue of Article 10 of Retribution Decree Nr. 16/1945 (taking Advantage of Racial Persecution for Personal Enrichment) on the Basis of Cases of the Special People's Courts in Prague and Litoměřice
Bednařík, Petr
Special People's Courts (1945-47) had to adress a number of cases, in which a Jew did not get back property from a neighboring Czech after the WW II. The Czechs would often try to explain why, for various reasons, the items in question disappeared. Excuses included confiscation by the Gestapo, and thefts of the items from the hiding place etc. Such claims were not very convincing. The Jewish owner (or his relatives in the event that the owner had not survived) had no witness who could confirm that he had actually handed the items to the Czech person for safekeeping during the occupation. The Jews, however, had no witness at all and, therefore, the Special People's Courts had to acquit the accused. We have reason to believe that a number of people, who used racial persecution for personal enrichment, were not after the war properly punished.
