Archiv městečka Slavičín

The permanent settlement of Jews (the Zimlich family) in the village began as early as the end of the 18th century and was connected with the operation of shops and later also the operation of pubs. Gradually, the number of people of Jewish descent grew to several tens. With the occupation of the Czech lands by the Nazi Germany, the Jews were persecuted. In Slavičín, among other things, they had to perform forced work on the construction of a German training shooting range at Blyštický potok, where they were taken daily. After their internment in Uherský Brod, forced administration was imposed on their property. The transports were taken to concentration and extermination camps, from where only a few returned. The fonds of the Archives of the Town of Slavičín contains documents of the municipality self-government, deeds, official books, file material, and accounting material.
