An old Saxon town in northern Transylvania, Bistrița sees its Jews led to an open-air camp set up on a nearby farm, where they remain for several weeks before convoys to the death camp.
Beszterce (Bistrița), an ancient Saxon town in northern Transylvania, had a community that lived by trade and crafts, with its synagogue and institutions. Following the German occupation of Hungary, the Jews of the town and the entire district were gathered in a camp established at a place called Stamboli, on the outskirts of the town, where they remained without adequate shelter. The convoys departed in early summer toward the extermination center in Upper Silesia. The community of Beszterce was no more.
