Abstract:
Part 1 gives an overview of events leading to the Holocaust and of the wartime period in Hungary, on the 45th anniversary of the German occupation. Part 2 discusses the fate of ca. 200,000 Jews in Budapest from July 1944. Due to protests from foreign governments, the Vatican, and the Red Cross, Horthy stopped the deportations. He was deposed in October and replaced by Arrow Cross leader Szálasi. Eichmann decided to transfer the Jews to Austria and Germany. Thousands died in the "death march" of November-December 1944. 33,000 were saved by Swedish or Swiss passports. In December, ca. 80,000 Jews were concentrated in two ghettos. Arrow Cross members went on a murderous rampage, shooting ca. 10,000 Jews at the end of December, on the eve of the liberation by Russian troops. Ca. 119,000 Jews of Budapest survived the war.
