    About this ebook

    The capture of Adolf Eichmann and the subsequent dispute between Israel and Argentina before the Security Council of the United Nations have aroused new interest in the history of Nazi Germany in general and of its anti-Jewish policies in particular. This interest gained momentum as the preparations for Eichmann’s trial progressed.

    The 15 years that have elapsed since the end of World War II have brought to light a plethora of new material and made possible a more objective evaluation of the Nazi design to liquidate the Jews of Europe, euphemistically referred to as “the final solution of the Jewish question.”

    This study has a modest aim. Its primary purpose is to present a succinct, though informative, account of the destruction of the Hungarian Jewish community during World War II, with special emphasis on the role of Eichmann and his collaborators. Its scope and coverage are limited, for, indeed, volumes would be required to write the definitive history of Hungarian Jewry during the Nazi era on the basis of the recently discovered documentary and archival material alone. Such a larger project is now under consideration.-Preface

      FOREWORD

      The trial of Adolf Eichmann in Israel has again brought to the fore the sordid and inhuman record of the entire Nazi era. Indicted by the State of Israel on fifteen counts, Eichmann was charged with crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people, war crimes and membership in Nazi organizations. Prominent among the charges were the ones relating to the destruction of Hungarian Jewry. And, indeed, Eichmann’s design to bring about the solution of the Jewish question, as the Nazi extermination program was called, was nowhere as successful and efficient as in Hungary!

      It is for this reason incumbent upon the World Federation of Hungarian Jews as the main representative organ of the surviving Hungarian Jews dispersed the world over, to focus the attention of world public opinion on this darkest chapter in the history of Hungarian Jewry.

      May it serve as edification for future generations.

      March, 1961

      The capture of Adolf Eichmann and the subsequent dispute between Israel and Argentina before the Security Council of the United Nations have aroused new interest in the history of Nazi Germany in general and of its anti-Jewish policies in particular. This interest gained momentum as the preparations for Eichmann’s trial progressed.

      The 15 years that have elapsed since the end of World War II have brought to light a plethora of new material and made possible a more objective evaluation of the Nazi design to liquidate the Jews of Europe, euphemistically referred to as the final solution of the Jewish question.

      This study has a modest aim. Its primary purpose is to present a succinct, though informative, account of the destruction of the Hungarian Jewish community during World War II, with special emphasis on the role of Eichmann and his collaborators. Its scope and coverage are limited, for, indeed, volumes would be required to write the definitive history of Hungarian Jewry during the Nazi era on the basis of the recently discovered documentary and archival material alone. Such a larger project is now under consideration.
