Plechotice (Trebišov District, Košice Region), first mentioned in 1324, has records of individual Jewish residents rather than a formal kehilla, synagogue, or cemetery. The Holocaust survivor Israel (Zoltan) Schapira was born here in 1925; his family moved to nearby Trebišov in 1935 and was later deported, reflecting that local Jews were tied to the larger Trebišov-area community. <small>Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plechotice, https://memoirs.azrielifoundation.org/exhibits/sustaining-memories/israel-schapira/</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Unnamed Buchinger (b.1899)]] | Born 06/12/1899, Died 06/1899 | | [[Lea Perlman (b.1907)]] | Born 07/13/1907 | | [[Ruzena Perlman (b.1909)]] | Born 04/22/1909 | | [[Mayer Perlman (b.1910)]] | Born 08/24/1910, Died 1910 |
