    Polish Refugees in Nyíregyháza
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2017) Láczay, Magdolna
    As in September 1939 Germany invaded Poland, Hungary’ borders were opened for Polish refugees. There were ten thousand Polish refugee groups arriving after 17 September 1939. The Hungarian government was kind enough to open camps for the refugees. Centre for accommodating refugees was opened in December 1939 in Nyiregyhaza, and in time the camp was located in the spa section of the city in Sóstógyógyfurdo in the buildings of the Swiss Lodge, the soda works and the Szerena-Lodge. Providing assistance and the opportunity of the further escape, the president and residents looked after safety of the refugees. Documenting the life of the camp, preserved references are placed in a city archive.
