~ History ~

Jews probably settled in Yanoshi in the first half of the 19th century.

In 1877, the Jewish population was 21.

By 1921, under Czechoslovakia rule, the Jewish population continued to grow.

Among the Jewish breadwinners were families that earned their livelihoods from commerce and farming.

With the Hungarian occupation of Yanoshi in March, 1939, Jews were pushed out of their occupations. A few dozen Jewish men were drafted into forced labor battalions in 1940-41 and others were drafted for service on the Eastern front, where most died.

In August, 1941, the number of Jewish families without Hungarian citizenship were expelled to Nazi occupied Ukrainian territory, to Kamenets-Podolski, and murdered there.

The remaining Jews of Yanoshi were deported to Auschwitz.

A great many of the Jews from Yanoshi were murdered in Auschwitz and a few survivors returned, but eventually settled elsewhere.

In 2001, Yanoshi had about 2,030 inhabitants and no Jews live there today.
