Summary/Abstract: The work focuses on memories living in the minds of those who were once forced to experience the horrors of the Holocaust. The research analyses the memories of Hungarian Jewish and non-Jewish women from the period when the ghettoization and deportation took place. In order to achieve this, oral history interviews from the foreign Holocaust Memorial Museum and Centropa databases were used. After an introduction, the ghetto, rural ghettoization, concentration camps are described, the concept of the brick factory is clarified, and a description of the circumstances of the initiation of the deportation is given. The research examines the traces left in the memories of Jewish women by the Hungarian ghettoization and deportation, and how non-Jewish women perceived the ghettoization and deportation.
