History

Several thousand native Hungarians were expelled from Komárom by the Czechoslovaks between 1947-48 because of their nationality. After the Soviet invasion the Hungarian town was attached to Czechoslovakia and they changed the ethnic composition of the town by force. The memorial also commemorates of the 2000 deported Jews.
