Gemersko-malohontská župa III. 1920 – 1944

The archival collection of the Gemer-Malohont County (in Hungarian Gömör-Kishont Vármegye) holds records of the county administration from the period between 1920 and 1944. As for the wartime years in 1939 - 1944, it preserves archival materials concerning Jewish life and various files on anti-Jewish measures and the persecution of the Jewish population taking place in the cities and in the countryside of the Gemer-Malohont County. These documents concern mainly the Aryanization of Jewish property. For example, one might find here the inventory of the equipment that belonged to the medical clinics of Sámuel Lusztig and Vilmos Reinitz from Rimavská Sobota. Furthermore, complete lists of the Jewish associations from the territory of the county have been preserved. These documents which were prepared in 1943 contain information about the membership of Jewish associations from Rimavská Sobota, Tornaľa, Rožňava, Plešivec, and Jelšava. Another relevant part of the collection consists of materials related to the granting of Jewish lands to non-Jewish war victims and their families.
