The Treatment of Hungarian Jews in German-Occupied Europe
Bona fide Hungarian Jews living throughout Nazi-dominated Europe enjoyed the protection of their government until the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944. Like the Jews resident in Hungary, they suffered restrictive anti-Jewish measures, which gradually eliminated their participation in both economic and socio-cultural life. The Hungarian government’s protection abroad afforded them de facto equality along with local non-Jewish Hungarian nationals as long as the integrity, sovereignty, and territorial independence of Hungary persisted.
