Okresné živnostenské spoločenstvo v Kráľovskom Chlmci 1925 - 1949 

The Tradesmen Association of the Kráľovský Chlmec District was one of the most important institutions in which small industrialists and tradesmen were grouped from 44 localities that belonged to the historical Užhorod and Zemplín Counties. These localities were annexed to the Hungarian Kingdom according to the First Vienna Arbitration in November 1938. More that 2400 Jews lived in the settlements. The seat of the association was in Kráľovský Chlmec (in Hungarian Királyhelmec) with 886 Jewish inhabitants in 1941. Jews formed less than 10% of the membership of the Tradesmen Association, however they were represented also in its leadership. As a result of the anti-Jewish laws, after 1938 Jewish tradesmen gradually lost their rights and their association membership too, which is documented in this archival fonds too.
