Mass deportation wave from Slovakia

Between March and October 1942, Slovak gendarmes and collaborating units concentrated and deported roughly 57,000 Slovak Jews. Victims were handed over to German SS and police and murdered in Auschwitz, Lublin/Majdanek, Sobibor, and other sites in occupied Poland. This wave destroyed the demographic base of Slovak Jewish life and shows the scale of Slovak institutional participation in the deportation system.
