Chop Holocaust



In early 1941, many of the Jews of Chop were forced into the Hungarian slave labor battalions or sent to the eastern front, where many died.
In April 1944, the day after Passover (Pesach), the remaining Jewish families living in Chop were rounded up and marched to the Ungvár ghetto where they were interned for a month and a half, after which they were forced into cattle cars and transported by train to the Auschwitz concentration camp.


A list from Chop (Csap), dated 4 April 1944, contains the names of 332 Jewish persons.¹ Their names, professions and particulars of birth are also on the list.

¹ On 8 April 1944 under No. 2168/1944, Béla NAGYMIHÁLYI (district notary of Csap) submitted to the Ministry of the Interior "one copy each of the lists of names complied by the Jewish communities of Csap, Tiszasalamon and Tiszaásvány." The same lists were sent to the head of the district public administration too. These lists are unique from the historical point of view. These are copies of lists sent to Department VII./res. of the Ministry of the Interior about ghettos and deportations. However, no trace of the lists can be found in the Hungarian Ministry of the Interior so far. Of particular note regarding the ghetto and deportation lists sent to Department VII. of the Ministry of the Interior, the lists usually contained the names of Jews in the slave-labor camps. The importance of this was that when the laborers were returning home or they traveled on the train, they could have been deported immediately. That's one reason why the number of those actually condemned to death is higher than the number of those individuals officially deported.
