Arresting and Deporting Jews


Arresting and Deporting Jews
German Waffen-SS and and collaborationist Arrow Cross soldiers drive arrested Jews into the Budapest municipal theatre for detention and deportation to death camps (October 20-22, 1944). Nearly 450,000 Hungarian Jews had already been transported and murdered, and the round-ups continued until the last days of the war. Note the taunting looks on the observing gentile Hungarians.
