Historical overview
The Jewish cemetery of Magy was established as early as 1860, which is the date marked on the oldest tombstone found in the cemetery. The latest tombstone found in the cemetery dates to 1934, suggesting the cemetery remained in operation until at least that year.
There were 28 Jewish residents in the village of Magy in 1836. Over the subsequent decades, the Jewish population was as follows: 42 in 1848; 38 in 1870; 25 in 1880; 32 in 1900; 40 in 1940; 26 in 1920; 22 in 1930; and 31 in 1941. By 1949, no Jews were left in the settlement.
