ABSTRACT
This paper provides an overview of the history of political bases and political party struggle for the realization of the post-war jurisdiction against war criminals and Nazi collaborators in Slovakia. While Slovak democrats tried to judge their war rivals strictly but equitably, communists wanted to judge all real or potential political opponents connected with the war regime. Because the moderate democrats had more influence, results of the Slovak retribution was not so harsh.
