Câmpul Pâinii
The Breadfield ( ro, Câmpul Pâinii, hu, Kenyérmező, german: Brodfeld, tr, Ekmekoltağı) is a region in southwest Transylvania, Romania between Orăștie ''(Szászváros)'' and Sebeș ''(Szászsebes)'' in the Transylvanian Saxon land, near the Mureș River. The central settlement is Cugir ( hu, Kudzsir, ger, Kudschir, tr, Kuçir). The Cugir River's old Magyar name is ''Kenyér'' (bread), which gave rise to the name ''Breadfield''. The region's borders to the south are the Cugir Mountains, to the north the Mureș River, to the west Hunedoara County, and to the east the Sebeș River. The area is a fertile plain. Formerly, Breadfield's population was largely Saxons, but today it is chiefly Romanians. In 1479 the Hungarians scored a victory over the Ottoman Army in the Battle of Breadfield, near Șibot. In remembrance of the victory, Stephen V Báthory built a chapel. :Settlements of Breadfield * Vințu de Jos (hung. ''Alvinc,'' ger. ''Unterwintz'' or ''Winzendorf' ...

The Holocaust In Hungary
The Holocaust in Hungary was the dispossession, deportation, and systematic murder of more than half of the Hungarian Jews, primarily after the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944. At the time of the German invasion, Hungary had a Jewish population of 825,000, the largest remaining in Europe, further swollen by Jews escaping from elsewhere to the relative safety of that country. The Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Kállay had been reluctant to deport them. Fearing Hungary was trying to pursue peace with the Allies, Adolf Hitler ordered the invasion. New restrictions against Jews were imposed soon after Germany occupied Hungary on 19 March 1944. The invading troops included a '' Sonderkommando'' led by SS officer Adolf Eichmann, who arrived in Budapest to supervise the deportation of the country's Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp in occupied Poland. Between 15 May and 9 July 1944, over 434,000 Jews were deported on 147 trains, most of them to Auschwitz, where abou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
