 ot
all of the Liebmans emigrated to America. Many families stayed in
Europe and lived out their lives in Slovakia - which, of course, was
part of Czechoslovakia between the wars - or in other parts of
Hungary. Most of them died untimely deaths at the hands of the Nazis.
Before World
War II, about 135,000 Jews lived in Slovakia. About 40,000
lived in areas that became part of Hungary in 1939, and 5,000
emigrated before the war began. This left 90,000 Jews, or about 3%
of the population, on the eve of the Holocaust. Under the Nazis, the
Czechoslovak government soon
initiated many anti-Semitic measures. Jews were expelled from governments
jobs, then the military. Soon
Jewish-owned businesses were taken over, and by 1941 Jews were forced to wear yellow
armbands.
Deportations began in
1942, mostly for Poland, where victims were
imprisoned in labor camps and ghettos and then sent to their deaths
at Majdanek, Sobibor and Belzec. There were also direct transports to Auschwitz. Nearly 59,000 Jews were deported in
1942, and about
10,000 left Slovakia for Hungary, leaving only about 19,000, who had
been granted exemptions for work deemed essential. After the 1944 Slovak uprising, however, Germany
moved to exterminate all Slovakian Jews. About 12,000 were
deported in 1944-1945. All told, 100,000 perished in the
Holocaust.
 The Liebman
family lost many lives as part of the Nazi "final solution." Among
those who died were 70
family members and spouses. There were surely many more
victims whose deaths were never documented. This page is a tribute
to them all.
