Note on population The difference between the population numbers above and in the census (here and below) is that the population numbers above are mostly made up of permanent residents, etc.; and the census should indicate the place where people actually mainly live.
For example, a student is a citizen of a village because he has permanent residence there (he lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.
The Magyar population (99% aboriginal) living continuously in this village for more than 900 years, surviving the Osman occupation (lasting for 150 years) - was expelled to Hungary - mainly the Calvinists - on the basis of the brutal Kosice-Kassa Declaration of the Czechoslovak National-Socialist party's leader and president of CSR, E.Benes - between spring of 1945 - and the end of 1948. The remaining Magyar inhabitants were expelled for a transitional but genuine slavery (during an ice cold winter /1948-49/ in unheated waggons) to Sudetenland where from the German aborigines were thrown out. "And"... - just after their arrival, they were sold as slaves to Czech and Moravian farmers.
The majority of expelled Magyars were members of the Reformed (Calvinist) community.
