Women's Resistance WWII
Posted In
Description
Hello! My name is Robin, and I'm currently trying to find resources about any groups that might have been active during WWII near the Olomouc and/or Zlin areas. My great-grandmother was supposedly active with a women's underground resistance group, but the only family resources we have are limited oral stories, now unable to be personally explored due to my grandmother's (great-grandmother's daughter) severe dementia, age, and trauma. Anything to start with would be fantastic. I have very little personal information to go off of. Thank you!

Hello Robin,
The local chronicles may mention these groups. Some chronicles are online, accessible through the regional archives' websites. Another option - just type your place name you know from your family sources and - kronika obce (community chronicle) - to your search on your web browser. The real chronicles are stored at the city halls or older ones at the archives.
Many communities have their own websites - you can find them just by typing the place name, following by .cz (place name.cz), then clicking at the History of the place, usually under the Info tab. One good place to find communities is https://mesta.obce.cz/.
Then, there are various publications and academic works they approach this subject (some are online), here is one I found just by typing a few keywords .. https://theses.cz/id/m6ajhv/. Just scroll down and click at the pdf version of the writer's work.
