The ghetto inhabitants were soon evacuated to a brick factory in Szeged. The Jews of Kiskunhalas were then deported in three groups: two groups, containing about 750 persons, to Austria, and one group to Auschwitz. In October 1944 a group of about two hundred twenty young Jewish forced laborers were murdered in Kiskunhalas by German SS members who were en route to the front. Four hundred fifty survivors of the Holocaust returned to Kiskunhalas from Austria after the war. (en-US)
