FromtheendofApril tothe8thJuly1944, fourHundredandthirtythousand
JewsweredeportedfromHungarytoBirkenauwherethevastmajoritywere
gassed. Thedestructionof theHungarianJews tookplacedduring the last
stagesofwar.BythattimethemajorityofJewsinNazioccupiedEuropehad
already been annihilated andmost of the extermination camps, Treblinka,
Belzec,Sobibor,MajdenekandChelmnohadbeendismantled.
“Couldtheyhavebeensaved?”isaquestionwhichisrepeatedlyasked.
Theirfatewassealedbytheexcessiveoptimismassociatedwiththepolicyof
those who played for time, the fierce and blind hatred of the Hungarian
collaborators, the indifference of the world and the relentless,
uncompromisingdeterminationoftheSStoliquidatetheJewsatallcost,
