This commemorative book lists the names of those who became the victims of deportation, by means of which the German occupation powers dragged away from the Czech lands the men, women and children covered by the so - called Nureerg Laws. These Laws were passed in September 1935 in Germany and were first used by the Occupation authorities in the Czech border -regions which were occupied by German troops in October 1938 and annexed by Germany. Later, when Germany occupied also the ""Rest - Tschechei"", ""the remaining Czech country"" as Hitler and Nazi propaganda mockingly called Czechoslovakia maimed by tearing away its bordeegions, the validity of these Laws was extended to the territory of the so - called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
