Hope for Reconciliation – the Lingering Trauma of Expulsions and Population Exchange in Upper Hungary (Present Day Slovakia). The study is to provide insights via selected individual examples into the greatest traumas post-World War II, suffered by the ethnic Hungarian population throughout Upper Hungary. Between 1946 and 1948, the native Hungarian population in the region – including members of the Reformed Church – were targeted by drastic and decisive state measures which, from the perspective of human rights agreements, are to be considered a cultural genocide and an ethnic cleansing. Under the pretext of collective guilt, many hundred thousands were declared enemies of the state, consequently they were relocated and deported in those three years; their only sin being that they belonged to the Hungarian minority in their native land.

Keywords: Upper Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Reformed, deportation, population exchange.
