Svaliava (Ukrainian: Свалява, German: Schwalbach or Schwallbach, Hungarian: Szolyva) is a city located on the Latorytsia River in the Zakarpattia Oblast (province) in western Ukraine. It is the administrative center of the Svaliava Raion (district).
After the second World War a concentration camp was working near the town. Hungarian and German-born civilians (born between 1896 and 1926) were carried off by Soviet forces to the camp purely on the basis of their nationality. They were ordered to report for "malenkij robot" (a corrupted Russian for "small work"), but most of them – more than 10 thousands deportees were killed in the camp.
