Summary/Abstract: The goal of this study is to classify the Hungarian-controlled ghettos and collection camps of Northern Transylvania according to their topographical and infrastructural characteristics. It is an effort to determine the extent to which their features correspond to Hungarian and international typologies, and the degree to which they differed from camps elsewhere. These themes are by no means unfamiliar to Hungarian scholars, several of whom have in recent decades studied Holocaust-era ghettos and the living conditions that prevailed there. None of their analyses, however, have addressed the situation in Northern Transylvania, and thus my objective in this article is to fill in the resulting gap.
