Abstract:
Discusses the persecution of the Jews in Hungary from the antisemitic measures of the Horthy regime in 1938 until the deportations and exterminations of 1944, carried out by the Nazi occupiers and their Hungarian collaborators. From a population of ca. 825,000 Jews living in Hungary before the war, only 260,000 survived, 100,000 of them in Budapest. Raoul Wallenberg helped save the lives of 70,000 Budapest Jews who were hidden in houses protected by the Swedish embassy. Another 5,000 were saved by Ángel Sanz Briz at the Spanish embassy. In Transylvania, occupied by the Hungarians during the war, only 15,000 survived from a Jewish population of 165,000.
