summary

The Budapest Telephone Directory for the year 1945. An extraordinarily valuable resource for genealogical research. This rare telephone directory was issued in October 1945, shortly following the end of World War II. Until World War II, Budapest was the center of Hungarian Jewish life, with a Jewish population of over 200,000. This came to an end with the German Occupation of Hungary and the installation of the anti-Semitic Arrow Cross party as the puppet government of Hungary. By the end of the war, less than 100,000 Jews remained alive in Budapest.
