The archival collection of the Tradesmen Association of the Rožňava District contains materials regarding Jewish industrialists and tradesmen who inhabited mainly Rožňava and other localities of the Rožňava District. Seven boxes of the collection are related to the period between 1938 and 1944, including various documents on anti-Jewish persecution and the Aryanization of Jewis property. The collection records preserve documents regarding the the abolition of Jewish business certificate in 1939 and 1940, as well as archival sources concerning the fate of companies or factories that were previously owned by Jews. The city appointed non-Jewish managers at the head of these companies in 1944, it was for example the case of the watch and jewelry store owned by Jenő Schnitzer (Rožňava), the sawmill that belonged to the Guttmann family (Rožňava) or the lime factory of the Hupperts in Plešivec. Furthermore, the archival collection holds the list of Jewish tradesmen who were gathered in the Rožňava ghetto in June 1944.
