It was a renowned Hasidic center — home to the Munkács dynasty under Rabbi Chaim Elazar Spira and a yeshiva (founded 1851) — and also a hub of Zionism. After Germany occupied Hungary in March 1944, nearly 15,000 Jews of Munkács and surrounding villages were ghettoized and deported to Auschwitz by late May 1944. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Mukachevo,
