Hungarian Annexation of Northern Transylvania

The Second Vienna Award transferred northern Transylvania from Romania to Hungary, bringing its Jewish population under increasingly repressive Hungarian rule. Expansion of anti-Jewish laws, forced-labour conscription, and property seizures intensified persecution, laying the groundwork for the 1944 deportations to Auschwitz, where most of the region’s Jews were murdered.
