CSEMADOK, also written Csemadok, is a cultural society of ethnic Hungarians in Slovakia. CSEMADOK was formed on 5 March 1949 in Bratislava as a part of the Czechoslovak National Front, an umbrella statewide organization. The name was the abbreviation for Csehszlovákiai Magyar Dolgozók Kultúregyesülete (see below for name changes, in Slovak: Kultúrny zväz maďarských pracujúcich v Československu, English: Czechoslovak Hungarian Workers' Cultural Association). It was one of the few ethnic-based organizations in Czechoslovakia. The organization was reported to have 43,000 members in 1953 and almost 50,000 in 1955. The society organized cultural events, lectures and supported theater-, song- and dance groups. Since 1951 it published a monthly "Fáklya" (The Torch), then, since December 1956, a weekly "A Hét" (The Week).
