Ricse (sometimes written as Risce) is a village in the Tokaj wine region in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, in Eastern Hungary. Prior to World War II Ricse was home to a thriving Jewish community. The founder of Paramount Pictures, Adolph Zukor, was born in Ricse in 1873 before emigrating to the United States in 1889 [ Gabler, Neil. "An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood". New York: Crown Publishers, 1988.]
