‘After the Holocaust: National Attitudes to Jews’

ANTISEMITISM IN HUNGARY 1945–1946*

SÁRI REUVENI

Jerusalem Israel

After the Holocaust there was a resurgence of antisemitism in Hungary. Jews returning from the concentration camps were the subject of inflammatory propaganda, blood-libels, pillage and assault, culminating in two pogroms. This study reviews the balance of forces and the economic situation during the short-lived democratic regime, between the defeat of the Nazis and the communist takeover. It also explores the cultural and social roots of neoantisemitism and traces the process by which the traditional negative stereotype of the Jew was adapted to the world that emerged after the victory over fascism.
