In 1941 there were 344 Jews living in Monor, about 3 percent of the population. After the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944, the Hungarian administration set up a forced ghetto in May 1944 and around 8,000 Jews from the area were also herded into the brick factory. At the beginning of July the ghetto inmates were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp .
