posed in all its gruesomeness
and there is a review of inter-
national reactions to what had
occurred under German rule.
"Comparatively intact until
1944, though an ocean of de-
struction surrounded it," Hun-
garian Jewry's catastrophe is
described as "unparallelled in
scope and impact," and the hor-
rible crime of the Nazis "com-
mitted in the broad daylight of
the 20th century brought a vir-
tual end to one of Europe's
most flourishing Jewish com-
munities.
While Jews in Nazi-occupied
countries were gradually being
liquidated, Hungary, in spite of
its own Magyar brand of anti-
Semitism, managed to protect
her Jewish nationals although
it was already an Axis satellite,
and Jewish refugees even sought
haven in Hungary. Dr. Braham
states that, ironically, "when the
tide of war shifted in favor of
the Allies, it was Hungarian
Jewry which suffered the most
concentrated destruction in 1944
through an utterly ruthless de-
portation and massacre pro-
gram."
Dr. Braham's introduction to
this voluminous collection sum-
marizes the history of the Nazi
barbarities in Hungary. The
activities of germanophile Hun-
garian officers' corps which col-
laborated in the excesses and in
deporting Jews to murder
camps. Dr. Braham shows that
