A Post-Mortem of the Holocaust in Hungary: A Probing Interpretation of the Causes
One of the world's foremost authorities on the Holocaust in Hungary, RANDOLPH L. BRAHAM, is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Political Science at City College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, where he also serves as director of the Rosenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies. He is author of The Politics of Genocide: The Holocaust in Hungary (1981), which was selected for the National Jewish Book Award in the same year and earned him citations in both the New York State Assembly and in the Congressional Record. In November 1995, Dr. Braham was awarded the Order of the Merit Officer's Cross of the Hungarian Republic.
Dr. Braham will address the destruction of Hungarian Jewry on the eve of the Allied victory -- a time when the secrets of Auschwitz were already known to world leaders. He will examine both the Hungarian and German authorities' strategies and Jewish leaders' attitudes and reactions, and analyze how this unthinkable catastrophe became reality.
