Systematic Destruction of Jewish Memorials in Wartime Slovakia

Under the Slovak State (1939–1945), antisemitic laws led to the removal, defacement, and repurposing of Jewish memorials, gravestones, and public markers. Cemeteries were desecrated, with tombstones taken for construction, reflecting the regime’s broader effort to erase Jewish presence from public life.
