This work articulates and historically scrutinizes both the uniqueness and the universality of the Holocaust in Hungary, a topic often minimalized in general works on the Holocaust. The result of the 1994 conference at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on the 50th anniversary of the deportation of Hungarian Jews, this anthology examines the effects on Hungary as the last country to be invaded by the Germans.
This comprehensive look at the Holocaust in Hungary synthesizes the results of a wide range of investigations and evaluates the historical lessons of the Holocaust in one country. Part I contains historical overviews and introductions, Part II discusses historical antecedents in nine studies on historical, political-ideological, cultural, socioeconomic, and psychological factors that led to the destruction of Hungarian Jewry. Part III, on the Holocaust era itself, is comprised of twelve studies on the machinery of destruction. Part IV includes fifteen essays on the consequences of the Holocaust and on Jewish life in Hungary after the war.
The integrity of the historical record of the Holocaust is under attack by historical revisionists who glorify the record of the Antonescu regime, distorting, if not actually denying, the tragedy that befell Romanian Jewry during the Second World War. This study exposes the falsehoods.
The Romanian chapter in the history of European Jewry during the Nazi era is replete with complex and controversial issues, including the anti-Jewish measures of the late 1930s, the pogroms of the early 1940s, and the mass murders of Jews in Romanian-occupied parts of Ukraine. Divided into four parts, the book includes an analytical view of anti-Semitism as reflected in the 1940-1944 records of the Council of Ministers; the genocidal drive against Romanian and Ukrainian Jews during the Antonescu era; the "foreign factor" in the history of the Holocaust in Romania; and the myths and history-cleansing campaigns spearheaded by Roman nationalists.
This volume aims to convey the realities of life in labour service companies through the personal narratives of survivors. The four narratives included were selected to dramatize some of the most distinct experiences endured by labour servicemen.
