Abstract:
Discusses the dislocation of the Jewish population and Aryanization of Jewish housing properties in Trnava during the World War II period, before the deportations. Describes the progressive limitation of rights of the Jewish homeowners, and the relocation of Jewish inhabitants from the city center to the suburbs by local authorities. There were 2,467 Jews living in the city in December 1938; they owned 265 houses and inhabited more than 800 flats, according to a register completed by the local authorities on 20 March 1941. From March to November 1941, "temporary supervisors" were assigned to 154 of the houses. Moreover, on 1 November 1941 all the real estate owned by Jews, with few exceptions, was confiscated by the Slovak state. On 16 May 1941, the Jews were banned from renting flats in certain streets in the city center; as a result, 1,309 Jews were forced to move to outlying neighborhoods. In the fall of 1941, the Jews of Trnava were included in a plan to deport Jews from Bratislava, but their inclusion was cancelled in September 1942 as only Jews from Bratislava were deported.
