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. Today (2002), there are approximately 4.000 Jews left - mostly elderly. 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 Fero Alexander is Executive Director of Slovakia's Central Union of Jewish Religious Communities The Slovak Republic (F.A.Q.

"Dictionary of all Villages in Slovakia" - complete historic data and photos with all the old and new names for all villages in current Slovakia from their first ever mention in written records. The three volumes are in Slovak and are a valuable tool to any serious genealogist. Published by the Slovak Academy of Science in 1977. Volume I is 526 pages; Volume II is 517 pages and Volume III is 532 pages. You might try locating the set at the library or try the following site "The Problem of the Immigrant" - authored by James Davenport Whelpley and published in London by Chapman & Hall Ltd in 1905. Chapter 14 - Austria-Hungary features an English translation of the Hungarian Emigration Law of 1903. "Vital Statistic Records in the Slovakian Archives" - information about Avotaynu microfiche form of these Jewish vital statistical records can be found at General 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. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/slovakia.html More than 600 Jewish cemeteries lie in ruin and scores of synagogues are devastated.

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." Plavnica - 50 A Jewish cemetery exists in this town.
