Budapest Apartment Reveals Huge Document Find

Some 6,300 documents have been found behind a wall in a Budapest apartment. The files, a large part of the Nazi census undertaken during 1944, are fortunately in fine condition due to a lack of air in the cavity where they survived. In August this year, a builder informed the owners of the find whilst he was working on renovation of the flat. The direct connection to the mass transports and ultimate extermination of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews will patently be drawn, as the census served as the precursor to the horrors that followed.
