Fonds includes also the correspondence with the Jewish religious communities and their registry offices in Nymburk, Příbram, Vienna, Brno and Prague; material on the genealogy of Ignatz Petschek, an entrepreneur in Ústí nad Labem and documents for the seizure of Petschek's property by the Nazis. From 1934 there are included photographs of Jewish tombstones; further an undated Czech anti-Jewish pamphlet; lists of seized property and correspondence on the acquisition of part of these collections for the town of Ústí nad Labem and auction catalogue of Berlin-Dahlem confiscated collections, 1941-1942.
- Archival history:
- The creator organised his estate himself. After his expulsion, based on the presidential decrees from 1946, his estate was taken over by the Town Archives Ústí nad Labem. Subsequently it became part of the fonds of the District Archives Ústí nad Labem, and was partially arranged in 1964 and 1977-1981. Later, living family members delivered the remaining documents that the family owned to the Ústí nad Labem Town Archives, the successor of the District Archives Ústí nad Labem. The fonds was re-arranged in 2011/2012.
