The Jews of Hungary, Germany’s ally, were the last to be pulled into the Nazi machinery of murder. But in the summer of 1944, Adolf Eichmann and his team, working together with Hungarian police, rounded up 450,000 Jews and transported them to Auschwitz to be killed.
Our speakers reflect on the devastation of the Holocaust in Hungary and its ongoing significance, 75 years later. Livia Prince is a survivor of Auschwitz and an alumna of U of T (BA Classics, 1979). Ferenc Lazcó, a historian from Maastricht University, is the author of Hungarian Jews in the Age of Genocide: An Intellectual History, 1929-1948. Judith Szapor, a historian of modern Europe from McGill University, is the author of Hungarian Women’s Activism in the Wake of the First World War: From Rights to Revanche.
This event is presented by the Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Chair in Holocaust Studies in partnership with the Faculty of Arts & Science; the Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies; the Elizabeth and Tony Comper Holocaust Education Fund; the Joint Initiative in German and European Studies (funded by the DAAD with funds from the German Federal Foreign Office); the Hungarian Studies Program at the Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy; and the Department of History.
