THE FORGOTTEN RESCUE: THE ROYAL HUNGARIAN ARMY AND THE RESCUE OF THE BUDAPEST JEWS...............................412 FOREWORD INDEX................................................................................................418 by Andrew L. Simon, Professor Emeritus, The University of Akron It is a sure sign of respectability if one is routinely vilified for 80 years by the Communists and for 60 years by the Nazis. Without the opportunity for rebuttal, a fiction repeated often enough, will become ‘self evident truth’. Goebbels knew this, so did Beneš, two of the 20th century’s master propagandists. When Admiral Nicholas Horthy, Regent of Hungary for a quarter of a century, was re-buried in his family’s cript in September of 1993, there was an international uproar in the media. The Economist wrote about ‘Hungary’s shameful past’. The New York Times served up a dire warning about the return of Fascism, the Frankfurter All- gemeine ‘would rather forget it’, the Brazilian Veja commented that ‘Hungary honors a Nazi’. There is no end to the list. One sane opinion appeared in The Financial Times: ‘western histori- ography was interested exclusively in his alliance with Hitler, and the Communists characterized the anti-Bolshevik as a monster’. Admiral Horthy, privy to the domestic policies of the Habsburg empire at the highest level, naval hero, last commandant of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, Regent of a destroyed country that he led into relative prosperity against great odds, an anti-Bolshevik, a prisoner of the Nazis, was indisputably a statesman. Under his rule, to quote Columbia University history professor István Deák, “Hungary … was an island in the heart of Europe where a sem- blance of the rule of law and a pluralistic society had been pre- served in a sea of barbarism”. Having traveled the world while in the navy, speaking six languages (Hungarian, Croat, Italian, Ger- man, French, English), serving as aide-de-camp of Emperor Fran- cis Joseph, he had a solid background for his position. Horthy was not a narrow-minded Nationalist but a patriot who greatly preferred the multi-ethic, multi-religious, multi-lingual diversity 7 8 of the Monarchy in which he grew up and had an admirable ca- Czernowitz to Sarajevo.” A survey article in The Economist (No- reer, even as a Hungarian Protestant in a Austrian Catholic “re- vember 18, 1995) David Lawday wrote: “The countries of Cen- gime.” Above all, he was a gentleman in the old, true sense of the tral Europe, unavoidably detained for a while, are clamoring to word. His intimate knowledge of the politics of Central Europe join the European Union. When they do, it will be a homecom- during a time that led from the heights of the cultured, law- ing.” Hungary’s joining NATO in 1999 was the first step toward abiding, modernizing, developing age of the Monarchy to the her reintegration to the European community of nations. Horthy depths of the Communist reigns of terror throughout the region would be pleased. makes his Memoirs an interesting, informative reading. For this edition, the text was compared to the Hungarian original The death of Communism, (if not the Communists) revived the and its English version was edited accordingly. About 600 foot- old ethnic and religious conflicts in Central and Eastern Europe, notes were added to clarify names and some issues the reader may not only in Bosnia but throughout the Danubian basin.

As a 1993 survey of standard Ameri- oirs of Hungarian generals and politicians, and a wide variety of can college history textbooks indicated, these are saturated with books, articles and private recollections, mainly dealing with some eighty years worth of propaganda.

    Kádár, Judit. “An Exceptional Case of Women’s Self-Advocacy in Interwar Hungary: Cécile Tormay.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 13 (2020) DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2020.385 An Exceptional Case of Women’s Self-Advocacy in Interwar Hungary: Cécile Tormay* Judit Kádár Abstract: A Hungarian writer who became a prominent public figure in the Horthy era, Cécile Tormay’s (1875-1937) fame and success was principally due to her memoir, Bujdosó könyv [‘The Hiding Book’], a work published in 1920-21 that depicts the two Hungarian revolutions following World War I. This popular work enjoyed several editions during the interwar period and was translated into English and French for propaganda purposes. After World War II, Bujdosó könyv was among the first works banned by Hungarian authorities for its anti-Semitism. Hailed as the most notable female author of the interwar period, Tormay’s name rose anew after the fall of socialism in 1989. Fueled by the official biography written two years after her death in the Horthy era by the conservative professor of literature, János Hankiss, a revival in the cult surrounding Tormay’s work has taken place in recent years. Hankiss portrayed Tormay as a woman of Hungarian noble descent whose deeds were motivated by sheer patriotism. This paper contends that Cécile Tormay was embraced by the interwar elite for her active role in the counter-revolutionary conspiracy against the First Hungarian Republic. Keywords: assimilation, anti-Semitism, Christian “gentlemanly” middle class, “urban” middle class, Cécile Tormay Biography: Judit Kádár received her Ph.D.

  • Jewish Survival in Budapest, March 1944 – February 1945
    DECISIONS AMID CHAOS: JEWISH SURVIVAL IN BUDAPEST, MARCH 1944 – FEBRUARY 1945 Allison Somogyi A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Konrad Jarausch © 2014 Allison Somogyi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Allison Somogyi: Decisions amid Chaos: Jewish Survival in Budapest, March 1944 – February 1945 (Under the direction of Chad Bryant) “The Jews of Budapest are completely apathetic and do virtually nothing to save themselves,” Raoul Wallenberg stated bluntly in a dispatch written in July 1944. This simply was not the case. In fact, Jewish survival in World War II Budapest is a story of agency. A combination of knowledge, flexibility, and leverage, facilitated by the chaotic violence that characterized Budapest under Nazi occupation, helped to create an atmosphere in which survival tactics were common and widespread. This unique opportunity for agency helps to explain why approximately 58 percent of Budapest’s 200,000 Jews survived the war while the total survival rate for Hungarian Jews was only 26 percent. Although unique, the experience of Jews within Budapest’s city limits is not atypical and suggests that, when fortuitous circumstances provided opportunities for resistance, European Jews made informed decisions and employed everyday survival tactics that often made the difference between life and death. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank everybody who helped me and supported me while writing and researching this thesis. First and foremost I must acknowledge the immense support, guidance, advice, and feedback given to me by my advisor, Dr.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the FURTHEST
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE FURTHEST WATCH OF THE REICH: NATIONAL SOCIALISM, ETHNIC GERMANS, AND THE OCCUPATION OF THE SERBIAN BANAT, 1941-1944 Mirna Zakic, Ph.D., 2011 Directed by: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History This dissertation examines the Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) of the Serbian Banat (northeastern Serbia) during World War II, with a focus on their collaboration with the invading Germans from the Third Reich, and their participation in the occupation of their home region. It focuses on the occupation period (April 1941-October 1944) so as to illuminate three major themes: the mutual perceptions held by ethnic and Reich Germans and how these shaped policy; the motivation behind ethnic German collaboration; and the events which drew ethnic Germans ever deeper into complicity with the Third Reich. The Banat ethnic Germans profited from a fortuitous meeting of diplomatic, military, ideological and economic reasons, which prompted the Third Reich to occupy their home region in April 1941. They played a leading role in the administration and policing of the Serbian Banat until October 1944, when the Red Army invaded the Banat. The ethnic Germans collaborated with the Nazi regime in many ways: they accepted its worldview as their own, supplied it with food, administrative services and eventually soldiers. They acted as enforcers and executors of its policies, which benefited them as perceived racial and ideological kin to Reich Germans. These policies did so at the expense of the multiethnic Banat‟s other residents, especially Jews and Serbs. In this, the Third Reich replicated general policy guidelines already implemented inside Germany and elsewhere in German-occupied Europe.

  • Wolfram Wette: Német Propaganda És a Csatlós Országok
    470 WOLFRAM WETTE Német propaganda és a csatlósországok: Magyarország, Románia és Bulgária (1941-43) /. A Délkelet-Európa felé irányuló német propaganda néhány sajátossága Az elfogulatlan szemlélő joggal teheti fel a kérdést, hogy létezett-e egyáltalán különleges német propaganda a délkelet-európai csatlósországok, Magyarország, Románia és Bulgária felé a második világháború idején? Hiszen ezek az országok — a hivatalos verzió szerint — „szövetségesek", illetve „baráti országok",1 azaz szuverén államok voltak, amelyek belső ügyeiket saját belátásuk szerint intézték, tehát propagandatevékenységüket is maguk alakították. Amint tudjuk, ezeknek az országoknak a szuverenitásával más volt a helyzet, mint ahogy ezt a hivatalos nyelvhasználat próbálta beállítani. Ezek ugyanis már a harmincas évek végén, de legkésőbb a negyvenes évek elején először a gazdasági behatolás útján, később politikailag is erős függőségbe kerültek a Német Birodalomtól. Ha kritikusan értékeljük a függetlenség 1941 nyarára — a Szovjetunió elleni háború kezdetére — elért fokát, jogos kétségeink támadhatnak, hogy a szövetséges szó helyesen írja-e körül ezeknek az országoknak Németországhoz fűződő valódi viszonyait. Közben kelet- és nyugat- európai történészek is használták a „csatlósállamokJ'2 fogalmát. Ha ezen a fogalmon azt értjük, hogy bár ezek az államok formáüsan függetlenek voltak, ténylegesen azonban a német nagyhatalom bizonyos befolyása alatt álltak, akkor alkalmazása bizonyára bölcs. A következő fejtegetések egyik célja, hogy részben új forrásanyag segítségével megmutassa, a német propaganda eljárási módja is bizonyítja a csatlós-státuszt. Mert a nemzetiszocialista rezsim ténylegesen nem mondott le arról, hogy propagandát folytasson a „szövetségesek" körében; csak éppen más módszereket alkalmazott, mint a birodalmon belül vagy a megszállt országokban. 1A tanácsokért és ösztönzésért köszönetet mondok kollegáimnak, Dr. J. Försternek, P. Konstantynak, Dr. G.

  • Chapter Thirty the Ottoman Empire, Judaism, and Eastern Europe to 1648
    Chapter Thirty The Ottoman Empire, Judaism, and Eastern Europe to 1648 In the late fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries, while the Portuguese and Spanish explored the oceans and exploited faraway lands, the eastern Mediterranean was dominated by the Ottomans. Mehmed II had in 1453 taken Constantinople and made it his capital, putting an end to the Byzantine empire. The subsequent Islamizing of Constantinople was abrupt and forceful. Immediately upon taking the city, Mehmed set about to refurbish and enlarge it. The population had evidently declined to fewer than two hundred thousand by the time of the conquest but a century later was approximately half a million, with Muslims constituting a slight majority. Mehmed and his successors offered tax immunity to Muslims, as an incentive for them to resettle in the city. Perhaps two fifths of the population was still Christian in the sixteenth century, and a tenth Jewish (thousands of Jewish families resettled in Constantinople after their expulsion from Spain in 1492). The large and impressive churches of Constantinople were taken over and made into mosques. Most dramatically, Mehmed laid claim to Haghia Sophia, the enormous cathedral that for nine hundred years had been the seat of the patriarch of Constantinople, and ordered its conversion into a mosque. It was reconfigured and rebuilt (it had been in a state of disrepair since an earthquake in 1344), and minarets were erected alongside it. The Orthodox patriarch was eventually placed in the far humbler Church of St. George, in the Phanari or “lighthouse” district of Constantinople. Elsewhere in the city Orthodox Christians were left with relatively small and shabby buildings.1 Expansion of the Ottoman empire: Selim I and Suleiman the Magnificent We have followed - in Chapter 26 - Ottoman military fortunes through the reigns of Mehmed II (1451-81) and Bayezid II (1481-1512).
