Shoah Resource Center, Yad Vashem, website, viewed November 2, 2016 (German soldiers entered Debrecen on March 20, 1944. They promptly ordered the disbanding of the Jewish community and forced it to reorganize as a Zsido Tanacs (Jewish Council), under the leadership of Rabbi Pal (Meir) Weisz. During the period of ghettoization and deportation, news of the so-called Kasztner train reached Debrecen via messengers from the Zionist youth movement. Ten families, including those of Rabbi Weisz, were taken first to Budapest, then embarked on the Kasztner train, which eventually brought them to freedom in Switzerland.) http://www.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/microsoft%20word%20-%20185.pdf
