Ricse

Ricse (sometimes erroneously written as Risce) is a village in the Tokaj wine region in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, in Eastern Hungary.

Prior to World War II Ricse was home to a thriving Jewish community.

The founder of Paramount Pictures, Adolph Zukor, was born in Ricse in 1873 before emigrating to the United States in 1889.

Prisoners were mainly Jews from Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and other refugees rounded up by the Hungarian authorities.

In the summer of 1941, most of the internees were transferred from Ricse to Körösmező and then to Kamianets-Podilskyi in German-occupied Ukraine, where they were murdered at the end of August 1941.

The composition at Juhász-kút ( Sheperd Well ) is one of the sights of Ricse. The well and its composition was donated to the village by Adolph Zukor , who was born here.
The inscription over Juhász-kút: " For the village of Ricse, for his homeland, Adolph Zukor (New York) 1928. Renovated in 1987. "
