Munkaszolgálatos gyűjtemény 1939-1945 

Introduced in 1939, the Labour Service was a specific form of Hungarian military duty during WWII. The nationalistic Hungarian state considered certain minority groups politically unreliable and forced them to perform unarmed service in the army. The majority of the labour servicemen were Jewish, with conscription for other targeted groups only selectively implemented. Before Germany’s occupation of Hungary in March, 1944, at least 25,000 Jewish labor servicemen were killed on the eastern front, many by the Hungarian military. At the turn of 1944-1945, thousands were deported to Germany.
