  Nation without a state: The Balkan Jews
Jews were seen by Romanians as an alien element that could not be assimilated, and this prejudice was exploited by ethnic nationalist leaders.
Jews lived there since medieval times and were not treated badly: one of the tsars of the Second Bulgarian Empire in the 1300s married a Jewish woman.
Jews were not active among Bulgarian nationalists in the 1800s because of their relatively favorable situation under Ottoman rule: there was fear that their position would worsen in a state that was Bulgarian in ethnicity and Orthodox in faith.

 COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND COLLECTIVE IDENTITY: JEWS, RUSYNS, AND THE HOLOCAUST
Jews constituted roughly a third of the population of the major cities; Mukacevo was a major Jewish center where in 1910 Jews formed nearly half of the population.
Jews were looking to provide their children with the most advantageous education possible (and they did this with zeal, so that in 1920-21, Jews constituted seventy-two percent of the student population of the region), and Slovak and Czech provided greater opportunities for advancement.
Hungarian troops crossed the border and occupied the entire region in March 1939, after which it was renamed Carpathia (Hungarian: Karpatalja).

 Henry Wickham Steed (1871-1956), The Hapsburg Monarchy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Jews of Vienna would long since have ceased to be exposed to anti-semitic agitation were their ranks not swelled every year by thousands of new-comers from Galicia and Hungary who invade the field of exploitation conquered by their predecessors and make economic war upon Jew and non-Jew alike.
The sayings that the Jews are as yeast working in the lump of human society, or that they are as foreign matter in the blood-social, causing fever by their presence, go but a little way to explain the phenomenon.
That Jews have a remarkable faculty for external adaptation to environment is incontestable, but it remains to be seen whether, with all their pliancy and pertinacious direction of will toward their immediate object, they are capable of adapting themselves internally.

 A History of the Jews, a list of expulsions for 2000 years
This notorious allegation that Jews murder non-Jews, especially Christians, in order to obtain blood for the Passover or other rituals is a complex of deliberate lies, trumped up accusations, and popular beliefs about the murder-lust of the Jews and their blood-thirstiness, based on the conception that Jews hate Christianity and mankind in general.
Thus the Jews dispensed with the reincarnation rites of the pagans.

 Hungarian Cinema: From Coffee House to Multiplex by John Cunningham | PopMatters Book Review
Hungarian films tend to achieve world prominence at moments of historical crisis.
Post-1989, Hungarian films have repeatedly explored communism, its collapse and its aftermath, and also analysed Hungarian society and history in relation to the country's emergence into modern capitalism, as is the case in Miklós Jancsó's Lord's Lantern in Budapest (Nekem lampást adott kezembe az Úr Pesten) (1989).
Hungarian Cinema includes such useful information as a "Guide to Hungarian Pronunciation," "Notes" which give further details about historical events and films, and a valuable list of "Resources," which range from information on cinema attendances and related themes, to books on Hungary's history, to journals, websites and other media addressing Hungarian cinema.

Jews could not use the city's parks, entertain visitors, or use air raid shelters, and uniformed members of the Hungarian fascist party regularly attacked Jews on the street.
In August, the Budapest Jews, who had survived earlier rounds of deportations, were now petrified that they also would be sent to Auschwitz.
Wallenberg carried food and medical supplies to the Jews on the marches and frequently succeeded in removing Jews from the columns under the pretext that they were protected Swedish citizens.

 Wickham Steed on the Jews of Austria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The tendency of the Jews to congregate in and overcrowd one quarter of a city or town - they seem to feel invincible repugnance to life in the open country - is the most striking characteristic of the race taken in the mass.
The intercourse of Jews with their Deity is sober, mechanical, and businesslike; all their acts are believed to be registered in a celestial ledger, the good deeds on the credit, the bad deeds on the debit side.

 Oskar Schindler, rescuer of Jews during the Holocaust
When Schindler requested that those Jews who continued to work in his factory be moved into their own sub-camp near the plant "to save time in getting to the job," Goeth complied.
In this way, the 1,098 workers who had been written on Schindler`s list in connection with the removal avoided sharing the fate of the other 25,000 men, women and children of Plaszow who were sent without mercy to extermination in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, only 60 kilometers from Plaszow.
In 1933 nine million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that would be occupied by Germany during the war.

Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter followed the lead of the Republican National Committee and numerous right-wing media outlets in attempting to discredit Senator John Kerry by attacking progressive financier, philanthropist, and political activist George Soros.
Coulter's claim that Soros "goes around blaming anti-Semitism on the Jews" is a distortion of comments Soros made at a Jewish Funders Network event in New York City on November 5, 2003.
Soros was merely joining the growing list of observers who note that the new antisemitism is a mix of old prejudices and current protests feeding on each other."

 Pope Pius XII and the Jews - Sacred Heart University
Rabbi Dalin concludes his article affirming that "Pius XII was not Hitler's Pope, but the closest Jews had come to having a papal supporter, and at the moment when it mattered most." His article is reprinted with permission here.
But Jews, whatever their feelings about the Catholic Church, have a duty to reject any attempt to usurp the Holocaust and use it for partisan purposes in such a debate—particularly when the attempt disparages the testimony of Holocaust survivors and spreads to inappropriate figures the condemnation that belongs to Hitler and the Nazis.
The fate of Italian Jews has become a major topic of Pius's critics, the failure of Catholicism at its home supposedly demonstrating the hypocrisy of any modern papal claim to moral authority.

 The Persecution of the Jews, Nuremberg Charges, Part 3
The output produced by Jews who, of course, were prompted by nothing but the feeling of fear, was satisfactory to the troops and the German administration.
The German measures taken against the Dutch Jews-discriminatory decrees, anti-Semitic demonstrations, burning of synagogues, purging of Jews from the economic life of their country, food restrictions, forced labor, concentration camp confinement, deportation, and death -all these measures follow the same pattern that was effected throughout Nazi-occupied Europe.
It is known, however, that 4 million Jews died in concentration camps, and that 2 million Jews were killed by the State Police in the East, making a total of 6 million murdered Jews.

 LP: U.S., Hungarian Jews Settle 'Gold Train' Case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
MIAMI -- Amid objections from some Holocaust survivors, a federal judge Monday approved a $25.5 million settlement between the U.S. government and Hungarian Jews who lost jewelry, artwork and other treasures when a Nazi "Gold Train" was commandeered by the U.S. Army during World War II.
Despite the objections, Judge Patricia Seitz said the agreement represents a "historic" chance to right a 60-year-old wrong committed by some U.S. troops and never adequately addressed by the federal government.
The settlement came in a lawsuit filed by Hungarian Holocaust survivors over the U.S. capture and pilfering in 1945 of a train loaded with gold, jewels, silver, china, 3,000 Oriental rugs and 1,200 paintings that had been stolen from Hungarian Jews by the Nazis.
