Could Genocide Have Been Averted? R. L. Braham : A magyar Holocaust (The Politics of Genocide. The Holocaust in Hungary)

Summary/Abstract: S even years after its American publication, Randolph L. Braham’s standard work was finally published in Hungary. What precisely were the reasons for the delay? What was it that made the Hungarian publishers—or rather, the authorities— so cautious? Could they have resented the fact—as Maria Ember intimated in her discerning review — that this inglorious period of Hungarian history should be viewed from a Jewish perspective? Or was it that Braham listed the names of those people— prominent and insignificant personalities alike—who had carried out the deportations? In either case, it is a highly disturbing thought that even as late as the 1980s such considerations could result in depriving the Hungarian public for so long of a unique book on Hungarian history.
