Title Who were they? : Characteristics of the religious streams within Hungarian Jewry on the eve of the community's extermination.
Host Item Yad Vashem Studies 35,1 (2007) 143-177
Description Presents a socio-demographic profile of Hungarian Jewry in April 1944, according to three basic religious groups, based on responses to a questionnaire sent to religious communities by the Jewish Council in Budapest at the request of the Nazis. Notes socio-economic differences between Trianon Hungary (1919-1939) and the annexed territories stemming from the policies of Hungarian authorities toward Jews. Restrictions on the entire Jewish population in the annexed territories led to a relative economic balance between the different religious streams. In Trianon Hungary the Jews had more possibilities to maneuver to cope with the anti-Jewish laws, and the differences between the religious streams that had existed from the beginning of the century remained. Concludes that although the anti-Jewish decrees reduced the economic differences, the religious, cultural, and social polarization of Hungarian Jewry continued during the process of its extermination. Includes fifteen statistical tables with social and economic information.
