We have no details on the Jewish settlement of Ócsa. We know only that the vast majority of the Jews of Ócsa worked in Budapest at various endeavors. The community was only formed in 1904, and was dependent on Pestszenterzsébet.
In 1944, all the Jews of Ócsa were first transferred to the Lajosmizse Ghetto, and then to Monor, from where they were deported to Auschwitz. Only a few individuals returned after the war. Ten Jews still lived there in 1947.
