The agenda of the City National Committee of Lučenec contains materials of the city administration in the period between 1945 and 1960. A specific segment of the archival collection preserves documents related to the immediate post-WWII period when Holocaust survivors were returning from the concentration camps and were trying to get back their confiscated real estate and movable property. Furthermore, a relevant part of the collections holds records about the situation of the Jewish religious community and its real estate properties, mainly the building of the synagogue in the post-war years and later.
National committees were established on the territory of Slovakia during the Second World War based on the decree of the President of the Republic no. 18/1944 of December 4, 1944, and after the war they replaced the existing city administrations. The City National Committee of Lučenec was responsible for the local administration between 1945 and 1989. This collection holds records from the period between 1945 and 1960. Its leadership was changed after May 1946 according to the result of the parliamentary elections. Members of the National committee had a wide range of competencies: the managing of the political, economic, and social life of the city, the confiscation of the property of"Germans, Hungarians, traitors and collaborator", the appointment of national administrations, the restoration and reconstruction of the national economy, tasks in the social and health spheres, the establishment of the National Security Corps, etc. Changes in the organization and activities of national committees occurred after the issuance of Constitutional Act No. 150/1948 Coll. (Constitution of May 9).
