Michalvoce & Verbosz?
editDuring the Austro-Hungarian empire, in northern Hungary there was a town named Verbosz, which one source suggests might have been Verbovec, which has been incorporated into Michalovce. Yet the map at this location has Verbosz in a location quite divergent from the maps for this article. Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this. Were there two towns named Verbosz in northern Hungary? Might the source have been in error? Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 14:28, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
The Jews population and the holocaust
edit"In 1910, Michalovce had 6120 residents, of whom 3792 were Hungarian, 1586 Slovak and 542 German. The religious makeup was 38.6% Roman Catholic, 32.3% Jewish and 23.2% Greek Catholic. After World War II, due to the Presidential Benes decrees, almost the entire population of the region's ethnic Hungarians and Germans (including the region's native Carpathian Germans) were forcibly expelled. Those remaining were assimilated and subjected to Slovakization.[6]
According to the 2001 census, the town had 39,948 inhabitants. 94.57% were Slovaks, 2.24% were Roma, 0.73% were Czechs and 0.47% were Ukrainian.[7] The religious makeup was 53.92% Roman Catholics, 19.65% Greek Catholics, 9.73% people with no religious affiliation and 5.19% Orthodox.[7]"
32.3% of the city's population disappeared without any explanation? There is an explanation about the Germans and Hungarians that expelled but not one word about the Jewish community that murdered during the holocaust 31.210.180.5 (talk) 18:40, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
