Hungarian Jew facts
While investigating facts about Hungarian Jewelry and Hungarian Jewish Museum, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Sára Salkaházi, a nun, ran a safe house for Jews during World War II saving about 100 of them. She was executed by a Hungarian pro-Nazi party.
how it happened documenting the tragedy of hungarian jewry?
Hannah Szenes, a Jewish parachutist dropped by the British into Yugoslavia during WWII to help rescue Hungarian Jews about to be deported to Auschwitz. Arrested, imprisoned and tortured, she refused to reveal details of her mission or her transmitter code. She was eventually executed.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 12 of the best facts about Hungarian Jewish Food and Hungarian Jewish Museum And Archives I managed to collect.
