There were Jews in Subcarpathia whose ancestors came there from near the border areas of Ukraine. According to Hungarian laws, these people were not citizens of Hungary and were subject to deportation. In 1942 the Hungarians took these people to Ivano-Frankovsk region on the territory of Ukraine, ordered them to dig graves and shot them.
I knew two survivors from Uzhgorod, their last name was Klein. They were not even wounded, but they fell into the pit with the others. The Germans just backfilled the pit carelessly and left. The Kleins managed to get out of this pit and local villagers gave them shelter. Later they managed to return home.
