Book Description
Traces the change in Hungarian antisemitism, from rural-urban tension before the Second World War to antagonism toward the communist leadership, which was primarily Jewish, during the first decade after 1944. Ch. 4 (pp. 100-107), "A Note on Communists and the Jewish Question, " distinguishes between the attitude of Jewish communist leaders, who denied their Jewish roots and often expressed antisemitic remarks themselves, and the extent of support of Hungarian Jews for the new communist regime.
