Slovakia has a population of almost 5.4 million people living in an area bounded by Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Ukraine. Slovak was a minority nationality in the Northern Counties (Upland) of Hungary that were carved of Hungary after WW I and became the Slovak components of Czechoslovakia, until Hitler broke Czechoslovakia up (Munich Agreement), incorporating Sudetenland into Germany, making Bohemia, Moravia into Protectorate, and Slovakia an independent state.
Prior to WW II, there were some 150,000 Jews living in Slovakia. The Slovakian government paid the Germans 500 marks per head for the 'privilege'
of deporting their Jewish citizens to Nazi death camps. Only 25,000
survived. Most of those today are over 70 and many have intermarried, so
the future of these Jews is pretty bleak. In 2002, there are approximately 4.000 Jews left - mostly elderly.
The country has been settled by (or
ruled by) Celts, Romans, Slavic tribes, Magyars, Tartars,
Turks and Habsburgs, Germans and Soviets and became a
country in 1993 after the so-called "Velvet Divorce" from the
Czech Republic.
The current ethnic composition of Slovakia is: 85.8% Slovak, 9.7% Hungarian, 1.7% Roma/Gypsy, 0.8% Czech, 0.4% Rusyn and 0.2% Ukrainian

Before WW II, there were some 100,000 to 150,000 Jews living in the country, but only 25,000 survived the Holocaust. All but 282 of the Jews in death camps were killed. A document was recently found that broke the wartime deportation agreement between the Germans and the Nazi-puppet Slovak state for the deportation of the Jews in 1942. Slovakia was the only sovereign nation in wartime Europe willing to pay for the removal of its Jews. The money came from the stolen Jewish property.
Today, most of Slovakia's 4,000 to 6,000 Jews live in the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava and are mostly over 65 years old. There are newly reopened Talmud Torahs in both Bratislava and Kosice -- the home of most Slovak Jewish youth.

More than 600 Jewish cemeteries lie in ruin and scores of synagogues are

feraltek@zeta.org.au has a list of fixed surnames taken on by Jews in Arva Megye of Hungary in 1785. The first few pages appear to be conditions of residency in Latin and in old Germanic handwriting. The area borders on Slovakia and Poland and is south of Krakow. Most of the district is now in Slovakia, with a small part in Poland. The main towns are Trstena, Dolny Kubin and Manestovo.

Bratislava (Pressburg)
The capital city of Slovakia with a population of 441,500 - See Pressburg. It is situated near the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, straddling the Danube river. It is the country's largest city and it became part of the
Great Moravian Empire around the year 900 AD. It is located
in Central Europe and is a a 20 minute train trip from Prague or
a 50 minute cab ride from Vienna.
In the town's main square is the
centuries old Town Hall with a clock tower, and around the square
itself, you can enjoy several of the rather whimsical metal statues
including a Napoleonic army soldier sprawling on a bench, a photographer
with a box camera and called "Cumil" of a bronze man poking his
head and part of his torso out of a manhole.
It was then brought into the Hungarian Kingdom at the end of the 10th century, and finally became part of the Czechoslovak Republic. Following the break-up of Czechoslovakia, it became the capital of the Slovak Republic. It is an industrial center and the largest wine-growing community of the region.

The city of Košice features valuable grouping of Jewish monuments. This eastern Slovak city used to be prior to the Holocaust a center with several Jewish communities representing broad spectrum of Jewish religious streams. Communal buildings of former Hassidic, Orthodox, Neolog and Status Quo Ante congregations, some of them with original inventory, have been preserved until these days.
A Jewish family (Daniel and Magda Riemer) recently married their two daughters in this city of 250,000 located in the far eastern tip of Slovakia.

Liptovský Mikuláš
Historically, this town served as the seat of Liptov County, where for more than 200 years Jews were well respected and socially integrated. The Jewish community began to develop in the 18th century, reaching 1,115 people, or nearly 40 per cent of the total population, in 1880. In 1865 the town, then known as Liptovský Svätý Mikuláš, became the first town in Hungary to elect a Jewish mayor – Isaac Diner. This was two years before Jews acquired civil rights in the country. Three more Jews followed in this office, which is a sign of religious and cultural tolerance in the city. The Jewish community belonged to the Neolog stream and before the Second World War numbered about a thousand people. There is no Jewish community in the city anymore. The Jewish cemetery disappeared in the 1980s, when it was expropriated by the municipality; the gravestones were stolen.
There is a neo-classic synagogue in this town which is one of the most beautiful in the country.

Lucenec - 100 to 200
Only 80 to 100 of the town's 2,200 Jews survived WW II. Today, only 14 are left, according to Gertruda Sternlichtova, head of the Lucenec Jewish Community. A more detailed story about the attempt to rebuild this synagogue is written as a news article in the American Jewish World of June 21, 2002. Email
amjewish@isd.net
Lucenec (new) is located in Lucenec, W of Rimavska Sobota.
Jews
settled in the Lucenec area in the late 1700's. The first
synagogue was built in 1863. By 1900, the Jewish population was about
2,000 out of a total population of 9,000. In 1941, the Jewish population
was about 2,100. When the area was annexed to Hungary in
November, 1938, many Jews were sent to forced labor camps. In May, 1944,
when the Germans took control, a ghetto was formed under a Judenrat. All remaining Jews were deported to Auschwitz in June, 1944.

Synagogue
There is just one synagogue left in this town which once had five. The remaining synagogue has an interesting history. It was built by Hungarian architect Lipot Baumhorn (1860-1932) whose other structures grace Amsterdam, Brussels and Tel-Aviv. Other than its foundations and a recently added copper roof, the synagogue is in poor condition. Built in 1924-1925, the synagogue housed religious services until 1944, when the Jews of Lucenec were transported to Nazi concentration camps in Poland and Germany.

Pezinok
Cemetery
"The Jewish cemetery in Pezinok has a rather unfortunate history. After WWII, the property was privatized and currently serves as some gentleman's backyard. To be more exact, the original cemetery is divided into 3 sections, but only one section actually resembles a cemetery.
The story is rather convoluted, but in a nutshell, this is it: When our rep arrived there he was greeted by a sorry sight; the lion's share of the visible tombstones were piled atop each other and stacked in various areas of the cemetery. Further inquiries revealed that unfortunately, most of the tombstones from the other 2 sections had been relocated to this section in a rather haphazard manner. The other two parts of the backyard were beautifully landscaped and, of course, bereft of headstones."
"To their credit, the owner and his wife were very reasonable and accommodating, and after some negotiating, it was agreed that backyard #1 will be cleaned thoroughly and all the tombstones re-cemented and erected. They also agreed to allow several tombstones to be erected in in the other two backyards. Of course, it would then be necessary to erect a monument commemorating the deceased Jews of Pezinok (and those deported in WWII) and more importantly, to inform visitors of the situation, stating that the accuracy of the headstone positions cannot be guaranteed."
"The restoration project of the Pezinok cemetery was launched a couple of weeks ago. Our Hungarian rep Mr. Szabo, and his entire staff, outdid themselves; he and his crew of devoted laborers toiled for days to try and match the hundreds of puzzle-like fragments of the headstones and re-cement/re-erect them in a most orderly fashion."
"It is emblematic of the significance of this sacred work that the surrounding neighbors were so impressed with the sudden attention and concern towards our ancestors' resting place, that a couple of amiable fellows actually approached the HFPJC members and informed them that since these "stones" are apparently of great importance to him, they know of several more that are concentrated in some obscure spot hitherto unknown to us! Of course, they led him to the place, and "those stones" will be rightfully erected in the cemetery."
"All the same, there is still much work to be done. However, all our attempts at determining the precise locations of the gravestones were futile. If somebody out there has any information which might be helpful, or perhaps an old photograph of the cemetery, we'd be extremely grateful if you could contact us via E-mail
hfpjc@thejnet.com
or telephone (800-945-1552)." From a posting by
