Okresné živnostenské spoločenstvo v Rožňave 1884 - 1952 

The southern parts of the Rožňava District after the First Vienna Arbitration in November 1938 were annexed to the Hungarian Kingdom. Its territory included more than 30 localities. According to the Hungarian census of 1941, there were approximately 1000 Israelites that inhabited the localities of the district. In Rožňava (in Hungarian Rozsnyó) which had the largest Jewish community in the district, Jews formed about 6-7% of the population. Many Jews living in the district were employed in industry and trade and the association represented the interests of this group. As a result of the anti-Jewish laws, after 1938 Jewish tradesmen have gradually lost their rights and their association membership too, which is well-documented in this archival fonds too.
