Michael Okroy: Kaschau war eine europäische Stadt ...
Ein Reise- und Lesebuch zur jüdischen Kultur und Geschichte in Košice und Prešov"Kaschau war eine europäische Stadt ..." – so erinnerte sich der postum zu Weltruhm gelangte ungarische Schriftsteller Sándor Márai (1900–1989) an seine geliebte Geburtsstadt. Denn in der ostslowakischen Metropole lebte ein "europäisches" Völkergemisch unterschiedlicher Sprache und Religion weitgehend friedlich miteinander, ehe die mörderische Politik der Nationalsozialisten sowie ihrer ungarischen und slowakischen Helfershelfer dem ein Ende setzte. Hauptleidtragende waren Juden, die entscheidend zum wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg und zur kulturellen Blüte Kaschaus beigetragen hatten.
