Background

Between March 25 and October 20, 1942, 57,628 Jewish people were deported from Slovakia to Nazi concentration camps. This database contains the names of deported individuals, drawn from two source lists:

the May 18, 1942 transport from Vranov nad Topľou, consisting of 1,060 names; and
the May 1942 Poprad transport, consisting of 140 names.

The names are from lists found in the District Archives in Vranov nad Topľou, Slovakia (Štátny archív v Prešove – pobočka Vranov nad Topľou). The original lists were made at the time of the transports in 1942.

These lists were also published in a 2002 Slovakian book, titled Stručné dejiny židov vo Vranove nad Topľou [A Short History of the Jewish Population of Vranov nad Topľou], by Igor Solčaník ([Vranov nad Topľou]: Vydalo mesto Vranov nad Topľou, 2002. 53 pages. OCLC# 56976754).
