Jews have settled in Körmend since as early as the early 1300s, however, the “modern” community got its start in the early 1700s, starting with about 7 families. The community grew over time, probably reaching a high of about 740 individuals as of 1869 when the community voted to become a Neolog congregation. By the late 1930s, the community had diminished to about 320 people. A few people returned after the war, but by 1960, there were no Jews left in Körmend.

The book will be available in August by FTI-iASK.
