Background

The following is a translation of the introduction from book, "A List of the Subotica Jews, Victims of the Fascist Occupation, 1941-1945", from which the names for this database came.

"This terrible tragedy which has come upon all of the Jews in 1941 - 1945 - has substantially hurt the Jews of Subotica also."

"From about 5,200 Subotica Jews, only some 1,200 returned, this means that 4,000 persons were lost."

"The Jewish Religious Community in Subotica has put together a list of persons which disappeared, Subotica Jews killed in the deportation, gathering the data from individuals. As many families have been totally exterminated, not one remaining alive to give the necessary data, we have filled in this list by reviewing court documents on the declaration of death of these persons and their registrations in the local registries. However, not all that disappeared have been declared dead, so that this list is not complete. Nevertheless, it is appropriate as a flame of piety towards those that were dear to us, and whom we have lost."

"For those of our brothers and sisters which have repatriated to the state of Israel, let this list of names serve as memory of the old country and of their deceased dear ones."

Database

The database is comprised of 1,993 names of victims from the pages of the book, "A List of the Subotica Jews, Victims of the Fascist Occupation, 1941-1945". The book has 54 pages of individuals listed alphabetically, with their age, and what we believe is the place where they died. For many of the married women and widows in the list, we are able to provide their married names along with their husband's given names and their maiden names.

The fields of the database are as follows:

• Page #
• Surname
• Given Name
• Maiden Surname
• Husband's Given Name
• Occupation
• Marked as a Forced Laborer
• Age
• Place Where Thought to Have Died
• Comments

Notes on selected fields:

The "p.r." in the "Marked as Forced Labor" field indicates that the individual was used as forced labor.

The following phrases were used in the "Place Where Thought to Have Died" field:

Individuals marked with a " * " in the "Comments" column indicate that the person listed was not a member of the Jewish Religious Community at the time of the deportation.

The following translations of titles, status, and miscellaneous terms will be helpful for interpreting the "Comments" field:
