- Abstract
The relationship between Communism, both as an ideology and as a socio-political system, and the 'Jewish Question' has been a much debated issue in academia. This paper brings examples from Communist Hungary in the early 1960s to shed more light on the problem. It argues that Jews were indeed discriminated against repeatedly, for instance in the areas of Jewish self-identification or the right to emigrate, but this was not due to the ideological stand of the regime, but the result of the interplay of certain historic and systemic elements, some of which were country specific.
