A JewishGen SIG
JewishGen's Hungarian Special Interest Group (H-SIG) is for those
with Jewish roots in the area known as "Greater Hungary" or pre-Trianon Hungary and covers all those areas that were
once predominantly Hungarian-speaking. This includes all of present-day Hungary and Slovakia and territory now within
Romania, the Ukraine, Austria (including present-day Burgenland), Croatia,
Bosnia, and Serbia. |

Eliyahu Reisman (left),
a former resident of Ungvar (now Uzhorod, Ukraine), is the son of Emanuel Reisman, who maintained
the Ungvar pinkas (register of burials in the Jewish cemetery) until he was deported in April, 1944.
Eliyahu Reisman brought the pinkas with him when he emigrated to Israel.
To his right is Rabbi Mendel Teichman, the rabbi for all of west Ukraine, including Uzhorod.
JewishGen volunteers have transcribed the burial records to include in the JewishGen On-line Worldwide
Burial Registry (JOWBR) database http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Cemetery/.
- Bobby Furst has presented a digital copy of the burial book for Michalovce, Slovakia, to the H-SIG. Burials range from the 19th century until the late 20th century. If interested in helping to transliterate the book for the JewishGen On-line Worldwide
Burial Registry, please contact Vivian Kahn vkahn@kmort.com).
