| Title | Hungarian Jewish Identity After the Six-Day War |
| Summary | This thesis researches the effects of the 1967 Israeli Six-Day war on Hungarian Jewry and especially on Jewish Hungarian identity. Sentiments were complex; the official Party line was absolutely against “Israel the aggressor,” and this was widely published in the different media, as will be discussed below. At the same time everyday non-Jewish people were cheering for Israel, something remembered with pleasure by some of the interviewees. My research project meant to show, supported with oral histories with Hungarian Jews who were (young) adults in 1967, that for many of them the Six-Day War brought a positive change in how they saw themselves, a sense of pride and belonging they had not felt before. |
