Štefan Tiso

Štefan Tiso (October 18, 1897 – March 28, 1959) was a lawyer and president of the Supreme Court of the 1939–1945 Slovak Republic which was a puppet state of Nazi Germany.Tiso was born in Nagybiccse, Kingdom of Hungary.In the latter position in 1944 he pressed for death sentences against leaders of the pro-allied Slovak National Council.[citation needed] Tiso also emphasized his desire to see a Final Solution to the Jewish Question in Slovakia, in discussions with Josef Witiska [de; fr; sv], the commander of Einsatzgruppe H. He believed that the uprising was the work of Judeo-Bolshevik plotters and considered Jews "enemies of the state".[1] In a postwar trial, Štefan Tiso was given a life sentence.
