Hungary Press Gives More Space to Jews

BUDAPEST (JTA) — Ar-
ticles on the persecution of
Hungarian Jews during the
Nazi years appear more fre-
quently in the Hungarian
press, observers here note.

The Hungarian literary
weekly, "Elet es Irodalom"
(Life and Literature), recent-
ly devoted an article to the
life of the Jewish writer Bela
Illes who died here last
January.
The article recounts • how
in 1937 Illes escaped to Mos-
cow where he became a
member of the Soviet army.
He later returned to Hungary
as a Soviet army officer dur-
ing the Soviet liberation of
Hungary.
He found his mother in the
Budapest ghetto where the
Nazis confined Hungarian
Jews eventually to be sent to
German concentration camps.
