==Historical Background==

*From the 11th century, when the territory inhabited by the Slavic-speaking population of Danubian Basin was incorporated into the Kingdom of Hungary, until 1918, when the Austro-Hungarian empire collapsed, the territory of '''modern Slovakia was an integral part of the Hungarian state'''. The ethnic composition became more diverse with the arrival of the Carpathian Germans in the 13th century and the Jews in the 14th century.

*The end of Communist rule in Czechoslovakia in 1989, during the peaceful Velvet Revolution, was followed once again by the country's dissolution, this time into two successor states.  

*The population of modern Slovakia is over 5.4 million and according to the 2011 census, the majority of the inhabitants are Slovaks (80.7%). Hungarians are the largest ethnic minority (8.5%). Other ethnic groups include Roma (2%), Czechs (0.6%), Rusyns (0.6%) and others or unspecified (7.6%).<ref name="slo">"Slovakia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovakia, accessed 27 July 2021.</ref>

==Emigration From Slovakia==

*As part of the Holocaust in Slovakia, 75,000 Jews out of 80,000 who remained on Slovak territory after Hungary had seized southern regions were deported and taken to German death camps. Thousands of Jews, Gypsies and other politically undesirable people remained in Slovak '''forced labor camps in Sereď, Vyhne, and Nováky.'''
