Abstract:
Contends that In the absence of an academic Hungarian biography of Horthy, apologetic literature on the Hungarian leader, in particular depicting him as a protector of Jews, is thriving. Argues that although Horthy’s anti-Jewish policies cannot be equated with those of Hitler, he did conduct policies which were deliberately anti-Jewish before and during World War II, and he bears responsibility for the deportation of Hungarian Jews in 1944. The exemptions he provided for some Jews were purely pragmatic.
