KEOKH records are relevant for the study of anti-Semitic radicalization and the Holocaust in Hungary for two chief reasons: it typically suspected foreigners and its reports on the raid it held tend to list the number of Jews concerned and expelled. In certain cases, so called Ostjuden are mentioned separately in these reports. Second, in 1941, KEOKH initiated and implemented the deportation of Jews from Hungary who could not prove their citizenship to newly occupied Galicia. This Hungarian anti-Jewish action eventually led to the first Nazi mass murder with over 10 000 victims. The collection of general records mostly concern the registration, control and investigation of non-resident aliens and those of “uncertain citizenship”, the files of Hungarian family members of foreign citizens, passport cases of foreign citizens, cases of expulsion, report on raids, and cases of emigration from Hungary.
