The paper constitutes an attempt to investigate the second wave of the pandemic between September and December 1918. The research is based on the study of archival sources, as well as the local press, and the county periodicals, in which the official number of infections and deaths were published. The first part of the paper is dedicated to the historiographical reflections, and outlines the possible reasons why historiography has not, so far, examined this question. Here it is argued that on the one hand the focus of the Hungarian and the Slovak historiographies were put on presenting the larger political, social, and economic context and consequences of the creation of Czechoslovakia and the history of the Peace Treaty in Trianon, while on the other hand, scholars have to face the lack of accurate statistical data. The second part of the study provides a short overview of the course of the pandemic in Slovakia. It tries to make estimates on the number of infections and fatalities based on contemporary statistics. Partial data suggest that around 0.5% of the population of Slovakia may have fallen victim to the epidemic. However, the study presents only the current status of the research, and data are not available for all regions of Slovakia at the moment. Therefore, further research is required to map the impact of the world pandemic on Slovakia, in regions that are missing in such analysis.

The paper aims to summarize the impact of the Spanish influenza pandemic on the northern regions of the Kingdom of Hungary, today’s Slovakia. The main aim of the study is to compare two types of accessible epidemic data, the statistics prepared by the Hungarian city or county administration and the civil death records in the period between September and December 1918. In the first part of the paper, the historical context of the second wave and the issue of the anti-epidemic measures are discussed, while the second part is dedicated to the analysis of the pandemic data related to different regions of present-day Slovakia. It is argued that the partial data published below might offer a representative case study on the course of the pandemic and the number of fatalities in this specific region of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.

This study aims to provide an insight into the micro-world of a group of witnesses to and participants in the Holocaust in Košice, a town ceded from dismembered Czechoslovakia to Hungary in November 1938. We argue that Košice represents a suitable case study for the examination of Aryanization of Jewish property on the municipality and individual levels in the Slovak-Hungarian border region (Southern Slovakia), which is a hitherto understudied field in Holocaust studies. Our analysis is centred on 253 petitions submitted by local residents to obtain rental rights to apartments previously occupied by Jews and supporting documentation preserved in the Košice City Archives. Our primary research question is who these petitioners for Jewish apartments actually were and how and why they became involved in the process. We explore the petitioners’ social stratification, occupational structure, gender, ethnic origin and other social indicators. Furthermore, we present and interpret their arguments, excuses and motivations. This issue also involves the striking question of how many these ordinary men and women understood they benefited from mass murder.
