註釋Surveys Jewish history in Carpatho-Rus' (Ruthenia) from 1848 through World War II. Pp. 222-285 relate the fate of Jewish communities in the Holocaust. Describes the Hungarian takeover in 1939, followed by anti-Jewish legislation which impoverished the communities. In 1941, foreign Jews and Jews who could not prove that their ancestors had lived in Hungary from 1850 were expelled, mostly to the area of Galicia (and many to Kamenets-Podolsk, where they were brutally murdered). Conditions for Jews who had been drafted into military labor service units also worsened in 1941, and many died during their service. With the German occupation of Hungary in 1944, the Jews of Carpatho-Rus', not considered part of the Hungarian motherland, were among the first to be deported. Describes the brief ghettoization of Jews to facilitate roundups, escape attempts, and the confiscation of Jewish property. Ca. 115,000 Jews from the area were deported to Auschwitz in May-June 1944, and most were killed.
