~ History ~

Jews probably settled in Lukovo in the late 18th century.

In 1880, the Jewish population was 61 (of a total population of 586), and in 1910, 79.

By 1921, during the Czechoslovakian period, the Jewish population rose to 77. A number of Jews were engaged in agriculture and commerce.

By 1930, the Jewish population decreased to 66.

With the Hungarian occupation of Lukovo in March, 1939, Jews were persecuted and pushed out of their occupations. In 1940-41, dozens of Jews from Lukovo were drafted into forced labor battalions and others were drafted for service on the Eastern front, where most died.

By 1941, the Jewish population had decreased to 62 and it was at this time, a few Jewish families without Hungarian citizenship were expelled to Nazi occupied Ukrainian territory, to Kamenets-Podolski, and murdered there.

The remaining Jews of Lukovo were deported to Auschwitz late May, 1944.

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

In 2001, Lukovo had about 1,558 inhabitants and no Jews live there today.
