At the end of May 1944 the Hungarian authorities forced approximately 5,000 Jews from Gyõr into a ghetto in the town. At the beginning of June 1944 the Hungarians moved all the Jews from the ghetto to barracks about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the city. They were deported to Auschwitz via Hungarian-annexed Kosice (Kassa), Czechoslovakia, on June 11, 1944. A few hundred Jews returned to Gyõr after the war. (en-US)
