Abstract:
The social and occupational factors which defined the place of the Jews in prewar Hungarian society have largely disappeared, and those Jews remaining in Hungary seek to assimilate. Nevertheless, a separate Jewish and non-Jewish consciousness continues to exist because of differing reactions to the "liberation" of Hungary in 1945 and to the communist regime. A small number of Jews supported the regime in order to solve their own identity problems. Many others suffered under communism, but there were stereotypes which developed identifying Jews with the communists which led to persistent antisemitism. In the present, some advocates of cultural nationalism reject the Jews as an "alien element" in Hungarian society.
