INTERNET ARCHIVE and the IVAN NAGY CLASSICS ON HUNGARIAN NOBILITY - GENEALOGY

 This post is in addition to the Hungartian Genealogy Posts which are tagged Gen Tips  - Hungarian Nobility in the Family.

Internet Archive is an non-profit organization founded in 1886 by Brewster Kahle.  Thousands of books have been digitalized and are free to access and that includes books of interest to genealogists and historians.

Of great interest to us are the IVAN NAGY authored books on the Hungarian Nobility, which are classic references. Over the years I've found some of these books at various libraries, but Internet Archive now has the best collection.

The books provide information by SURNAME and sometimes include family lineage charts, and mention locations.

INTERNET ARCHIVE SEARCH  re IVAN NAGY, many of the copies are from the Family History Library (FamilySearch/ LDS)  THEY MAY NOT BE IN ORDER OF VOLUME OR DATE.

The best tactic is to find the volume that contains the surnames by alphabetic letter, GO TO THE BACK INDEX and find the page that way!

APRIL 16TH IS THE DAY THAT HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE TAKES PLACE IN HUNGARY

ABOUT HUNGARY BLOG : ARTICLE ON HUNGARY HOLOCAUST DAY 

Excerpt:  The day falls of April 16th because on that day in 1944 the Hungarian Holocaust began with the process of sending Hungarian Jews to ghettos.  The Day of Remembrance was established in 2001 by the First Orban Government - along with the Hungarian Holocaust Museum - and has been observed every year since.

The 1941 census showed a Hungarian Jewish population of 725,000.  Two-thirds of them died as a result of forced labor, deportations, and genocide.  The Jewish communities in the countryside were completely destroyed; only about 100,000 of those living in Budapest survived.  Historians estimate that between 5,000 and 70,000 Hungarian Roma also lost their lives in concentration camps as victims of the Holocaust.

YAD VASHEM : SHOES ON THE DANUBE PROMINADE BUDAPEST HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL

Excerpt: If you look more closely, you see that the shoes are rusted, made or iron and set into the concrete of the embankment.  They are a memorial and a monument to the Hungarian Jews who, in the winter of 1944-1945, were shot on the banks of the Danube River by members of the Arrow Cross Party. Known as "The Shoes on the Danube Promenade:, the memorial was conceptualized by film director Can Togay, and was created by Today, together with the sculptor Gyula Pauer. It was installed on the Pest bank of the Danube River in Budapest in 2005. At three separate places on the memorial, cast iron signs read in Hungarian, English, and Hebrew: "To the memory of victims shot into the Danube by Arrow Cross militiamen in 1944-1945."
