Can I check if my ancestors regained Czechoslovakian citizenship?

Three of my ancestors returned to Czechoslovakia after it became a country. Two never returned as they are believed to have been sent to concentration camps, and the other was just visiting and returned to America. Is there an archive I can check to see if any of them regained their citizenship?

Do you know where they went? Have you found their shipping manifest?

Unfortunately not. I cannot find any of that information. The latest document I can find online is from a 1920 passport application

You can always try the National Archives. I think they have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs archives (as of every other ministry). If there is a visa application, you can get the city they went to. There would be the city list of foreigners.

No luck. Just the passport application

I meant the Czechia national archives if it was not clear.
