- Scope and content:
- The fonds of Hořejší Vrchlabí police station contains service books and a chronicle recording events from 1849–1945. The chronicle mentions that work began on the construction of a camp at the Lorenz company for employees from Herlíkovice, although it was not completed; about 600 people were accommodated there at the time of the liberation. It is assumed that the camp had a capacity of 1,200. On 10 May 1944, 400 young Jewish women from Waldenburg were relocated to the Lorenz camp, where they rested during the day and worked at night, suffering from a lack of proper food and clothing.
- Archival history:
- The archive was initially placed in the state regional archive in Zámrsk. In 2000 and 2003 it was transferred to the state district archive in Trutnov, where the entire fonds is now kept.
- Administrative/biographical history:
