Description
Describes and analyses the factors that determined the evolution of Israeli historiography on the Hungarian chapter of the Holocaust. Heightened interest in the tragedy that befell Hungarian Jewry stemmed from the Kasztner case that rocked Israeli society in the mid-1950s, and the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann in the mid 1960s
