Provenance:
The Holocaust Survivors and Victims Resource Center copied this collection's scanned computer files in September 2010 from a DVD-R disk received by Mr. Vadim Altskan of the USHMM International Programs Division. The Jewish community of the northern Serbian city of Sombor has in its possession 926 original Hungarian-language World War II police card file cards of Jews deported to concentration camps. Most cards record deportations in April 1944 to the transit camps of Baja and Backa Topola, from whence most were thereafter transported to Auschwitz. According to Dr. Emil Holcer, who helped facilitate the USHMM's acquisition of copies these research materials, these Hungarian-language records are not well-known by Serbian Holocaust scholars, and he knows of no article or publication based on them as of 2010. The President of the Sombor Jewish community, Mr. Sasa Cvejin, believes the collection was donated to the community by local authorities in 1960s. The Sombor Jewish community scanned the police files and agreed to donate one set to the USHMM. Additional copies of the collection will also be forwarded to the Belgrade Jewish Museum, the Sombor City Archives and the Sombor City Museum.
