Romanian Pohjoinen -Transsylvania oli liittetty Unkariin 1940 syksyllä ja antisemitistiset lait saatettiin voimaan. juutalainen kansa, henkisen työntekiät ja valistunut väki alettiin lähettää raskaaseen pakkotyöhön, jonka surmaamien uhrien luku on tuntematon.
Natseilla oli periaatteena saattaa P-Transsylvania juutalaisettomaksi alueeksi nopeasti, jotta sinne saataisiin Natsi-Saksan tukikohtia Venäjää vastaan käytävässä taistelussa.
Natsi-Saksan miehityksen jälkeen 1944 Eichmannin strateginen verkko yhdessä viikossa tyhjensi pohjoisen Transsylvanian juutalaisen yhteiskunnan normaalista elämästään. Ajamalla ihmiset systemaattisesti kaikista maakunnista edeltä määritetyille gettoalueille ja tässä yhteydessä jokaiselta ryöstettiin omaisuus kuten kulta ja hopeaesiineet, jalokivet, turkikset, ryijyt, kirjoituskoneet, kamerat, taulut. - (tietysti myös asunnot ja maaomaisuus).
Ihmiset luulivat että kyse oli vain heidän keräämisestään uudelleen asutettavaksi ja maataloustyöhön maailmansotatilanteen ajaksi ja heille kerrottiin että heidät sijoitetaan Kenyermezsiin Transdanubiaan, joten prosessi sujui uhrien ollessa alistuneita ja vastaanpanemattomia.

Mutta pelkkä Romanian pohjoisen Trans-Sylvaanisen osan Unkariin liittäminen merkitsi noin 200 000 juutalaisen väestölle ahdistuksia jo ennen natsiesakasalaisten tuloakin, kertoo ylläoleva
Jad-Va-Shem-lähde:
The heavy hand of the Hungarian military authorities was felt particularly in the four counties of the Szekely area, which the Hungarian s considered “sacred.” The Jews of the area were subjected to a review of their citizenship status; as a result many of them found themselves in custody because of their “doubtful” citizenship. Particularly hard hit was the Jewish community of Miercurea-Ciuc, where dozens of families were rounded up and expelled.

But harsh as these many anti-Jewish measures were they were overshadowed by the forced
labor service system Hungary introduced in 1939. During the first two years of its operation,
the Jewish recruits of military age, though subjected to many discriminatorymeasures, fared relatively well. After Hungary’s involvement in the war against Yugoslavia in April 1941,
however, the system acquired a punitive character. The Jewish laborservicemen were
compelled to serve in their own civilian clothes: they were supplied with an insignia-free
military cap and instead of arms they were equipped with shovels and pickaxes.

For identification the Jews were required to wear a yellow armband; the converts and
the Christians identified as Jews under the racial laws had to wear a white one. Shortly
after Hungary joined the Third Reich in the war against the Soviet Union (June 27, 1941),
the labor service system was also used as a means to “solve” the Jewish question.
Many of the Jews recruited for service were called up on an individual basis rather
than by age group. By this practice the military-governmental authorities paid special
attention tocalling up the rich,the prominent professionals, the leading industrialists
and businessmen, the well-known Zionist and community leaders, and above all those
who had been denounced by the local Christians as “objectionable” elements.
Many among these Jewish recruits were totally unfit for labor or any other service,
and eventually perished in the Ukraine, Serbia, and elsewhere.

The Jewish community of Northern Transylvania also suffered in the wake of the campaign the Hungarian authorities conducted against “alien” Jews in the summer of 1941.
