Pamphlet on behalf of the Hungarian Ministry of Interior - List of Jews Exempt from "Race Laws" - Budapest, 1944
M[agyar]. Kir[ályi]. Belügyminiszter[ium]. 577.600/1944 II. B. M. Szárn. Mentesitő Okiratok Megerősitése, Illetőleg Űj Mentesitések Engedélyezése. Budapest, November 1944. Hungarian.
A pamphlet with a list of about 600 Jews who were exempt from Hungarian Race Laws, their date of birth and place of residence. The list was published on behalf of the Hungarian Ministry of Interior, after the rise to power of Ferenc Szálasi, leader of the "Arrow Cross Party". Szálasi introduced an extreme anti Semitic policy and upon his appointment he limited as much as possible the number of Jews who were protected by the previous leader, Miklós Horthy. This pamphlet includes the updated and limited list of Jews whose protection was not denied.
On the last page appears an ink stamp of the Hungarian Ministry of Interior (Magyar Királyi Belügyminiszterium) and a handwritten signature of the ministry's secretary.
14, [1] pp, 28.5 cm. Good condition. Stains (mainly to first page), folding marks and creases. Slight defects.
Not in OCLC.
