Commission for the Industry and Commerce - Department VII 

The subfonds of the Comission for the Industry and Commerce - Department VII contains documents pertaining to the restitution of property of Jews living in Slovak part of Czechoslovakia after the Second World War. The Comission for the Industry and Commerce - Department VII was a special department with the task to legally deal with the issue of restitution of property Aryanized during the rule of the Hlinka Slovak People´s Party in 1939-1945. The Department VII took over a big part of documents of former Central Economic Office (Ústredný hospodársky úrad) which was responsible for the major part of Aryanization process in Slovakia 1939-1945. This subfonds thus contains several hundreds of boxes with files on formerly Aryanized enterprises, as well as houses (residential property) and movable property. These files usually contain documents created during the process of so called Aryanization, including whole case files of the Central Economic Office (Ústredný hospodársky úrad). Besides that the subfonds contains documents on restitution of the property (or restitution claims) as well as on the fate of former owners. Records of the Department VII are closely related to another fonds stored in the Slovak National Archive, namely to the fond Ústredný hospodársky úrad. 

Files are arranged according to numerical principle.
