„A lány elém dobta Somerset Maugham könyvét, az Örök szolgaságot”. Számok, statisztikai adatok, tények a szabadkai gettóról (1944. április 27. – 1944. június 16.)
“The girl tossed me Somerset Maugham’s Of Human Bondage”. Numbers, statistics, and facts about the Szabadka ghetto (27 April 1944 – 16 June 1944)

Summary/Abstract: Based on previously unknown sources, the article presents the history of the Szabadka (today: Subotica) ghetto, which was established on April 27, 1944 and operated until June 16, 1944. It places great emphasis on the detailed reconstruction of the area and extent of the ghetto. The study also analyses the religious and social structure of the 2,740 people forced into the ghetto based on hitherto unknown documents. The study shows that numerically the largest social mass in the ghetto were homemakers, followed by students and (presumably small) traders. It is striking that employment sectors traditionally associated with Jews, such as journalism, newspaper publishing and printing, are barely even show up in this source. Also noteworthy are the minimal number of factory and plant owners, and the almost complete lack of bankers and bank officials. The almost total absence of teaching staff of any kind is particularly striking from the remaining data.
