The Slovak Nation’s Memory Institute was founded in 2003. Its statutory tasks comprise of: evidencing, collecting, administrating and making available documents of the repression apparatus of the Third Reich, the USSR and state security authorities, which were produced and collected from 18th April 1939 until 31st December 1989, and referred to crimes committed on Slovak nationals or Slovak citizens of other nationalities. The Institute collects, inter alia, audio-visual material produced by the Security Service of the Communist regime.
