Hungarian Professions and Occupations: Hungarian-to-English Translations

This list is intended to be used as a guide in the translation of the professions/occupations specified in two lists that were indexed as part of the data sharing agreement between Yad Vashem and JewishGen.  Certainly it can be used as a more general purpose tool as well, for the translation of occupations and professions from Hungarian into English.

The data in the leftmost column of this table represents all unique values of the field labelled Profession in the two databases titled “Jews of Szombathely in 1944” and “Jews in Debrecen in 1945”.  Because the transcribers were provided with instructions to transcribe the data exactly as it appeared, the data will include spelling errors and any other mistakes that may have been made when the information was originally documented.  This may explain why some of the words were not able to be translated.

For each of these unique terms, the correct Hungarian term is provided along with its English translation.  This information is all available to you today thanks to the effort of Tom Venetianer, who provided the translation for all of this data along with his personal notes.
