The archival collection of the Tradesmen Association of the Košice District contains important documents regarding the situation of Jewish industrialists and tradesmen that inhabited the localities of the surroundings of Košice. It holds records from the interwar period and the years of Jewish persecution during WWII. A total of 14 boxes - which represents the half of the whole collection - are related to the wartime period. The collection records preserve several register books and the list of the association members too. In these books one might find the detailed professional biographies of the many association members, including Jewish ones, as well as information concerning the revocation of their business certificate in the 1940s. Some parts of the archival collection concern the situation after the deportation of the Jews in the countryside. For example, in Kavočán, Ťahanovce or Čaňa the deporation of the local Jewry resulted in the lack of professionals in many areas of the agriculture and trade, as it documented in the files of the archival fonds.
