Álmosd

Álmosd is a village in Hajdú-Bihar county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary.

The Jewish community
Jews began to settle in the village in 1770. In 1830, the Jewish community established a synagogue and a cemetery.

In 1944, 63 Jews lived there, and after the German army entered Hungary, the local Jews were transferred to the Naguivarad ghetto, where all the Jewish residents of the district were concentrated. A few weeks later, they were deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp.

After the war, only a few Jews returned to the village who had survived and community life did not resume. There have been no Jews in the place since 1950.
