Érsekújvár (now Nové Zámky, Slovakia) became part of Czechoslovakia after the First World War and was annexed to Hungary in 1938. Just before the Hungarian takeover, Jews from nearby villages were forcibly removed from their homes to the area near Ersekujvar by Hlinka guards. The Hungarian authorities, however, transferred Jews without Hungarian citizenship or with dual citizenship back to Slovakia; a month later they were allowed to return home. The fate of the Jews of Ersekujvar from 1938 was identical with that of other provincial Jews in Hungary. Discusses, also, the Holocaust of Slovakian Jews. Out of 2,492 Jews in Érsekújvár, ca. 800 survived. The volume includes memoirs, lists of victims and survivors (pp. 289-330), an English summary (pp. 351-352), and plates with photos and facsimiles of documents (pp. 361-431).
