“This book is one of gladness and of pain. Its editors are glad to publish the names of those who survived all the horrors, all the abominations of hatred and war… Everybody turning over the leaves of this book should realize the significance of the fact that also above the will of the power which thought itself to be the strongest, there is a higher jurisdiction preventing the innocent from being entirely exterminated… We have been scattered among the nations and we are left few in number. May the roll of Mtei Mispar, the counted remnant, be received by our brethren in Eretz Yisrael and in the countries of the diaspora as a message, as a hand outstretched towards them which sends love and which is also awaiting and soliciting for the love missed ever so long” (Intro.) “Instructions for Use of the Register of the Jewish Survivors in Budapest” notes the record has its limitations since many surviving Jews remained in hiding, others were skeptical about the project and refused to supply personal information.
