Reghin — Sächsisch-Reen in German, Szászrégen in Hungarian — is a timber town on the Mureș river, about 32 kilometres north of Târgu Mureș. Its Jewish community, Orthodox with a strong Hasidic influence, formed in the mid-19th century and numbered about 1,600 in 1930, roughly a sixth of the population. In 1940 the town passed to Hungary, and on 4 June 1944, 3,149 Jews from the town and its surroundings were sent from a ghetto in a brick factory to Auschwitz. Only a handful of Jews live there today, and the cemetery is looked after through the Târgu Mureș community.
