Subcarpathian Rus' is a region in former Czechoslo-vakia and Hungary; and the Jews who lived in this area comprised a unique community. Until the Holocaust; Sub-carpathian Jews lived peacefully among other local groups. They owned and worked their own land as small-scale farmers and lumberjacks and were known for their Orthodox piety. The cities of Uzhhorod; Mukachevo; and Sighet were major centers of Hasidism.This is the first major scholarly history of Subcarpathian Jewry. The Carpathian Disapora traces the fascinating story of these Jews through three regimes: The Habsburg Empire before World War I; Czechoslovakia during the interwar years; and Hungary during World War II and the Holocaust. The book includes maps; tables; and a photographic essay of community life.
