Abstract:
Analyzes reactions of assimilated Hungarian Jewish writers and historians to the anti-Jewish laws of 1938-42. Through their works, they attempted to convince the Hungarian public that the Jews had always been loyal patriots and an inseparable part of the Hungarian people. In February 1939 a committee of 29 Jewish writers signed a petition objecting to the proposed additional anti-Jewish laws, and sent it to the Parliament, but this effort was futile. Discusses works by some of the writers.
