Sajtógyűjtemény

The Hungarian Jewish Archives holds an extensive collection of press clippings. This collection consists of tens of thousands articles, reports, editorials, commentaries, interviews, essays, book reviews, poems. These items were originally published in over one hundred Hungarian and some international newspapers and journals between 1909 and 1948. They cover topics such as Hungarian and international politics of the interwar-period, extreme-right wing movements and parties, the “Jewish question” and anti-Semitism, “race protectionism”, anti-Jewish atrocities and legislation, fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, the Holocaust and war crime trials but also Hungarian Jewish matters as well as issues related to Zionism and Palestine. The collection practically covers the entire spectrum of Hungarian journals and newspapers from the radical rightist organs through conservative and liberal ones to the left and includes clippings from the Hungarian Jewish press as well. The collection was compiled by an unknown individual or individuals. Information is also lacking on why this immense body was created.
