Sarkadkeresztúr

Sarkadkeresztúr (Romanian: Crâstor) is a village in Békés County, in the Southern Great Plain region of south-east Hungary.

[1] The population of the village started increasing rapidly because of the settling of the Germans.

(There are some other towns and villages where German (mostly Swabian) communities still can be found, just like Elek, Gyula and more.)

Religious composition according to the 2015 census: 88% Hungarian Reformed, 5% Evangelical, 5% Jews, 2% Catholic.

Many Jewish communities had lived in the village in the 19th century, before the local Jews were deported to the Nazi Germany in 1944.
