Ecser, Csömör, Rákoskeresztúr: three communities east of Budapest that were resettled by Slovak (Tót) people from the beginning of the 1700s – following the Turkish occupation. Though over time they gradually became assimilated into Hungarian culture, traces of their Slovak roots can still be found. There have been recent initiatives to preserve Slovak identity and customs in these communities. By Juhász Katalin.
