“…Although anti-Semitism was suppressed during the communist era, Holocaust survivors were subjected to many adversities, including persecution on both social and religious-political grounds. As the Communist Party gained political power, it identified most Jews as members of the “bourgeoisie” (Braham, 1994). Furthermore, all religious practices were frowned upon under communism.…”

This study describes how elderly Holocaust survivors living in Hungary evaluate their lives in the context of multiple sociopolitical upheavals they had experienced. We interviewed Holocaust survivors who continue to live in the locale of their original victimization and amid renewed threats of anti-Semitism. We examined evaluations of life during 9 historical periods, ranging from pre-Holocaust to the 1990s. We also considered data about late life morale, social integration, perceptions of social alienation, and concerns about future anti-Semitism. Data are reported, based on individual in-depth interviews with 104 Holocaust survivors living in Hungary. Findings about well-being and social outcomes are compared with data obtained in our earlier studies of 166 Holocaust survivors who immigrated to the United States and 184 survivors who immigrated to Israel after World War II. Results indicate that survivors living in Hungary experienced several postwar periods as highly stressful in addition to the trauma of the Holocaust. Survivors living in the United States, and particularly those living in Israel, portray better family life and social and psychological outcomes. Narrative responses of survivors living in Hungary point to a lack of social integration and ongoing threats to identity, along with fears about the rise of anti-Semitism, as factors that may adversely impact the maintenance of psychosocial well-being.

“…Perhaps of more significance, it would seem that 'non-Jewish' petitioners were successful in changing the scale at which 66 It would seem that the category of mixed house argued for by a number of petitioners was at least tolerated, with 'non-Jews' being allowed to remain in 'Jewish' houses. And it is clear that a relatively large number of 'non-Jews' stayed put in ghetto houses.…”

“…134 Not only did the Nazi-type Arrow Cross parties rank second in strength to the government party in Parliament, the radical Right obtained the upper hand in the government itself. Still, it was in this parliament, dominated by the extreme Right, that Deputy Endre Bajcsy-Zsilinszky took the government to task for the massacres of more than 3,300 mostly Jewish and Serb civilians in districts occupied by Hungary in January 1942, after Germany attacked Yugoslavia: 135 there were hardly any "deliberative bodies" in Europe other than Sweden or Switzerland where such questions could be asked at the time.…”

Historians and political scientists have already begun to explore different aspects of modern Austria's political culture. But as Helmut Konrad has reminded us, this relatively new concept is loosely defined; he considers “political culture” to mean “the values held by individuals, groups, and society as a whole that affect the behavior of peoplewithin and in relation to the political system of a country.” Lucian Pye stresses the behavioral approach in political analysis to make “more explicit and systematic” our understanding of “such long-standingconcepts as political ideology, national ethos and spirit, national political psychology, and the fundamental values of a people.”
