The Holocaust in Hungary, 4: "Possibilities and Limits of Testimonies": The Pusztavám Massacre - Jewish Survivors as Witnesses
Anikó Boros
Translated from the German by Christopher Reid
On October 16, 1944, more than 200 Jews who had been drafted for forced labor in the munkaszolgálat (labor service) were brutally massacred in Pusztavám, a village inhabited by both Germans and Hungarians, amid the Jewish persecution in Hungary. The hitherto unexplored and therefore little-known events of that fateful day are examined in this article through an analysis of the testimonies of Jewish survivors.
