List of stumbling blocks in Nitriansky kraj
The list of stumbling blocks in Nitriansky kraj contains the stumbling blocks in the Slovak region Nitriansky kraj (Neutraer Landschaftsverband), which remind of the fate of the people of this region who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . The stumbling blocks were laid by Gunter Demnig . As a rule, they are in front of the victim's last self-chosen place of residence. The stumbling blocks are called pripomienkové Kamene or pamätné Kamene in Slovak , both of which stand for “memorial stones”. In Hungarian they are called botlatókő .
The southern part of the region (south of the line and including Šaľa-Šurany-Vráble-Levice) was part of Hungary from 1938 to 1945 as a result of the First Vienna Arbitration . The murder of the Jews in this part of the region to which Komárno belonged took place as part of the Shoah in Hungary in 1944. Nitra was north of this line and in 1939 became part of the Slovak state . The deportations there took place earlier.
The first relocations in Nitriansky kraj took place on July 26, 2013 in Komárno . The inscriptions on the Stolpersteine there are engraved in two languages, in Slovak and Hungarian. The Stolperstein laid in Nitra only has a Slovak inscription.
The table is partially sortable; the basic sorting is done alphabetically according to the family name.

Remarks
- ↑ a b c d e The names are given here as they are on the stumbling block. The deportation and murder of these people was reported to Yad Vashem on June 6, 1989 by Alexander Pasternak, resident in Zurich . Alexander Pasternak was the grandson of Mária and Zsigmond Pasternak and the nephew of Dezső, Margit and Sándor Paszternák. The forms of the name that Alexander Pasternak used in his report are in brackets. A great-grandson of Zsigmond and Mária Paszternák, András Paszternák, who lives in Budapest, reported in a blog post and a magazine article that tar had been poured over the stumbling blocks when he visited them three months after they were moved. At the time of its publication, however, they had already been cleaned again, for which he thanked them. See András Paszternák: Három hónap jutott nekik, avagy a szurok és a dédszüleim (German roughly: "It took three months, or the tar and the great-grandparents"). Blog entry from October 28, 2013 on http://sziakomarom.sk , online ; Hitközségi Hirádó - Spravodajca, November 2013, p. 4, with the author's indication PA (probably Paszternák András), available online here .
- ↑ Waldmann's first name is given in two forms, a Hungarian (Ernő) and a German (Ernst, Ernest). There are two entries in the Yad Vashem database that are almost certainly related to the same person. They refer to two different documents, a publication by the Regional Museum in Komárno from 1989 and a list of Hungarian Jews murdered in Mauthausen from a “Memorial Book”. The deportation of this rabbi to Auschwitz in the course of a transport between June 12 and 15, 1944 is documented on a Slovak site via the Jewish community in Komárno. According to the documentation of a Hungarian project, Waldmann was brought to Mauthausen / Gusen for forced labor and died there on June 27th , probably in the course of being exterminated through work . The two entries in Yad Vashem can be easily brought into line with the other sources through various details (function of the rabbi in Komárom, place of birth, etc.).
