The Nazis. knowing they were losing the war. became obsessed with wiping out the remaining Jews under their control. It became the personal task of Adolf Eichmann to liquidate the Hungarian Jewish community. Eichmann pursued this cause with a vengeance. It is ironic that Hungarian Jews. who survived longest among all the Jewish communities in Nazi Europe. were the quickest to be destroyed. In a 2month periodfrom May 15 to July 8. 1944430.000 Jews were deported from the Hungarian countryside in sealed cattle cars. Among those carried away to the gas chambers were many members of my family. Between July 1944 and January 1945.
