The Database of Holocaust Victims (present-day Slovakia – territory of wartime Hungary) is the result of research activities by the Institute of Social Sciences of the CSPS SAS (Center of Social and Psychological Sciences of the Slovak Academy of Sciences) and also the result of activities and support from the resources of EHRI-ERIC (European Holocaust Research Infrastructure) and the National Platform for Cooperation with EHRI in Slovakia (EHRI-SK).
The database contains the names and personal data of Holocaust victims as well as information about their fate during the war from the territories of the former Kingdom of Hungary, which today belong to the present-day Slovak Republic.
This primarily concerns the border regions of present-day Slovakia, which Hungary annexed on November 2, 1938 on the basis of the First Vienna Arbitration. The Hungarian census of 1941 registered 39,303 Israelites living in this territory. The number of converts to Christianity was estimated to be a few hundreds.
Furthermore, the project will collect and process data on victims from 75 localities from the regions of present-day northeastern Slovakia, which were occupied by the Hungarian army during the Hungarian-Slovak armed conflict (the so-called Little War) in the spring of 1939 and also annexed to Hungary. In 1941, 2,389 Israelite residents lived in these villages.
