Boda, Klement

Kle­ment Boda (1908-?) – crim­i­nal inspec­tor 1^st class of the Brno Crim­i­nal Direc­torate. His supe­ri­or was Coun­cil­lor Josef Brixi, but both were under the author­i­ty of rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the Ger­man Crim­i­nal Police (Kripo), who super­vised the depor­ta­tion of Roma and Sin­ti and effec­tive­ly decid­ed on how it was con­duct­ed. In this capac­i­ty, Boda orga­nized the trans­ports of Roma and Sin­ti from the Pro­tec­torate to the Auschwitz II — Birke­nau con­cen­tra­tion and exter­mi­na­tion camp; how­ev­er, there are tes­ti­monies of Roma whose lives he helped to save by exclud­ing them from the transports.
