Before World War II, there was a sizable Jewish community in Bodrogkeresztúr. At its height, there were 535 Jews in the community, but most of them were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust in Hungary.[1][2]
Rabbi Yeshaya Steiner of the Kerestir Hasidic dynasty lived here at 67 Kossuth Utca. The house still serves tens of thousands of people annually, especially on the anniversary of his passing.
