Title Provincial police reports : new insights into Hungarian Jewish history, 1941-1944.
Host Item Yad Vashem Studies 19 (1988) 233-267
Description In 1941 the Minister of the Interior ordered every town to prepare a monthly political report, including information on the Jewish community. Analysis of 425 reports from 66 towns, from May 1941-May 1944, reveals the antisemitic attitudes of police officials and the local population. Reports from the regained territories (especially Transylvania) were more hostile than others. Describes the restrictive measures against Jews, surveillance by police informers and neighbors, the introduction of forced labor in 1941, the deportation of ca. 20,000 Jews over the Russian border in August 1941, and the massacre in Novy Sad in January 1942 by the Hungarian army. Discusses, also, knowledge of persecution of Jews in Romania, Croatia, and Slovakia, especially the latter. Minor government officials benefited from the discrimination against the Jews and and thus favored their removal at the time of the German occupation.
