Summary/Abstract: This contribution quantifies the Jewish death victims in and from the territory of Czech Lands during Nazi occupation of Western part of CSR. The reconstruction is based mainly on materials from Czech archives, such as lists of Jewish inhabitans and monthly reports of the SD Prague and Gestapo in Prague and Liberec. The author moreover analyses the numbers of those dead who lived on the area including the border area annexed by Germany after Munich dictate and those who escaped from Czech lands and were captured in other European countries occupied by Nazis or rendered by German allies. Beside of these at least 72 000 dead the author has identified other 1 700 concrete persons who died during „Schutzhaft“ as well as 56 names of Czech Jews executed in course of the two martial law periods in 1941 and 1942. The other approx. 1 100 people were killed fighting on the side of Allies against Nazi. Only some individual cases could be identified as killed partisans. Based on these figures we may assume the total number of 80 000 life victims of Jewish origin is realistic.
