According to the data in the table, there was a visible increase in the number of Jews in Subotica until 1921, so in the years preceding the Second World War, a smaller decline in this growth was observed.
The call-up in work units for Jews, conscripts, began on September 19, 1941.
In the Hungarian Shoah, the holocaust began with the entry of German troops in March 1944.
Order No. 6163/1944 passed on April 7, 1944 foresees “cleansing the state of Jews”. The operational decision was made on April 19, and from April 26, concentration camps and ghettos were established.
3,500 people lived in the Subotica ghetto. The ghetto was located near a freight train station exposed to the danger of satellite air attacks.
The Subotica concentration camp was formed for the reception of Jews from Novi Sad and Jews from central Bačka. There were a total of 4,000 people there. The Subotica Jewish Municipality provided them with food. After about twenty days of stay in this camp, the Jews were transferred to the concentration camp in Baja, and then taken to Germany.
The ghetto hospital was located at the freight station. After the deportation of Subotica Jews, on June 16, 1944, the hospital was destroyed in the bombing of the city.
Although the number of victims in the “Directory of Subotic Jews Victims of Fascist Occupation 1941-1945” is only 2,006 persons, mobilization to work units and deportation included 6,105 Subotic Jews or persons who were considered Jews according to racial laws. Of them, 1,065 (17.44%) returned, and 5,040 (82.56%) died.
After the deportation, there were actually no more Jews in the city. The number of those who were hiding cannot be determined. only after May 9, 1945, when the war operations took place, 1,057 returnees were recorded in Subotica.
Emigration to Israel, aliyah, further reduced the number of Jews in the city.
