~ History ~

Jews probably settled in Bat'ovo in the first half of the 19th century.

In 1877, the Jewish population was 59 of a total population of 845.

By 1921, during the Czechoslovakian period, the Jewish population rose to 197.

With the Hungarian occupation of Bat'ovo in November 1938, Jews were persecuted and pushed out of their occupations.

In 1939, under the Hungarians, the population dropped to 130.

In 1940-41, dozens of Jews from Bat'ovo were drafted into forced labor battalions and others were drafted for service on the Eastern front, where most died. A few Jewish families, without Hungarian citizenship, were expelled to Nazi occupied Ukrainian territory, to Kamenets-Podolski, and murdered there.

The remaining Jews of Bat'ovo were deported to Auschwitz late May, 1944.

A great many of the Jews from Bat'ovo were murdered in Auschwitz and any survivors settled elsewhere.

In 2001, Bat'ovo had about 3,023 inhabitants and no Jews live there today.
