Description:... Analysis of public opinion leading up to and including World War II inevitably raises the issue of responsibility for the Holocaust of Hungarian Jewry. Reviewing both archival material and contemporary sources, this book asks how extremist publications, full of hatred against Jews, affected contemporaries. Why was it that Hungarian society ignored the dangers threatening Jews in Europe, including Hungary? Janos Pelle looks for answers in contemporary and modern literature in the psychology and contrasts theories in operation at those tragic times with current information.
