The village gave its Yiddish name (Tosh) to the Tosher Hasidic dynasty, and two famed rabbis are buried in its cemetery. In April 1944, after the German occupation of Hungary, the local Jews were deported via the Kisvárda ghetto to Auschwitz; only 21 survivors returned and the community did not endure. <small>Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ny%C3%ADrtass, https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kisvarda/kis002.html</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Yitzchak Isaac Perlmutter (b.1834)]] | Born 1834, Died bef 1904 | | [[Yehudis Perlmutter (b.1856)]] | Born 04/13/1856 | | [[Shalom Perlmutter (b.1858)]] | Born 02/27/1858 | | [[Avraham Yehoshua Heschel Perlmutter (b.1859)]] | Born 12/21/1859 | | [[David Yehudah Leib Perlmutter (b.1862)]] | Born ~1862 | | [[Devorah Perlmutter (b.1867)]] | Born 04/22/1867 | | [[Etta Perel Perlmutter (b.1869)]] | Born 01/20/1869 | | [[Yisrael Meshulam Feish Perlmutter (b.1870)]] | Born 10/11/1870 | | [[Miriam Perlmutter (b.1871)]] | Born 04/03/1871, Died 1897 | | [[Zali Perlmutter (b.1876)]] | Born 11/20/1876 | | [[Shlomo Zalman Brand (b.1888)]] | Born 07/15/1888 | | [[Mindel Brand (b.1892)]] | Born 1892 | | [[Hermina Brand (b.1893)]] | Born 07/20/1893 | | [[Hermann Gottlieb (b.1895)]] | Born 1895 | | [[Lina Brand (b.1896)]] | Born 06/08/1896 | | [[Ignacz Brand (b.1899)]] | Born 02/21/1899, Died 11/19/1899 | | [[Moshe Brand (b.1901)]] | Born 07/14/1901 | | [[Leah Brand (b.1903)]] | Born ~1903 |
