The Holocaust In Hungary
The Holocaust saw the dispossession, deportation and systematic murder of more than half of the Hungarian Jews, primarily after the German invasion of Hungary (1944), German occupation of Hungary in March 1944. Before that, several incidents took place, including Novi Sad raid, The Raid in 1942, the murders of the majority of Jews in Novi Sad and south-eastern Bačka. At the time of the German invasion, Hungary had a Jewish population of 825,000, the largest remaining in Europe, further swollen by Jews escaping from elsewhere to the relative safety of that country. The Prime Minister of Hungary, Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Kállay had been reluctant to deport them.
