Deportation of Roma from Ondód

In August 1944, around 70 Roma men from Ondód were seized for forced-labour service. On 4 November, gendarmes arrested 24 more Roma—men, women, and youths—and marched them to Szombathely before transferring them to Komárom’s Csillagerőd fortress where they were kept in inhuman conditions. Many were later deported to German camps; Ondód’s women were sent to Dachau and then Ravensbrück, where several were subjected to sterilising medical experiments. Only a fraction survived.
