The Holocaust touched many people. Their friends, families and their homes were all affected. In Germany and Poland, the Jews were deported and murdered. But in Hungry the Jewish population made it through better than most. The Hungarian Jews experience through the Holocaust was unique and this helped them survive for most of the war.
The Jews in Hungry were the most adapted to the culture of the Hungarian people. They spoke their language and revised their beliefs to make sure they could be part of the Hungarian culture. The Hungarian Jews were emancipated in 1868 and help them be even a bigger part of the culture in the Hungary.
With the lands that Hungary lost after WWI, the Hungarian people were spread out not under the control of the Hungarian Government.

After WWI a 100-day communist dictatorship took over was installed. After the 100 days were up the government wanted nothing to do with the communist and killed has many communist they could find. After the fall of the communist regime, they reinstated the prior government with a few changes. With the old conservative government in charge, they wondered if they had a Jewish problem.

Why do this and not get rid of every Jew in the country. Hungary was relatively new to the war and didn’t have enough time to prepare to get every Jew in the deportation. It also stands to believe that the people in Budapest and other cities were not ready to get rid of one-fourth of the population. The people needed time to adjust and the Germans were not ready to receive that number of people.
