-March 19, 1944.... Seventy years ago today, German forces occupied Hungary. Within a month, Jews outside Budapest were forced into urban areas, which were enclosed and became ghettos. In mid-May 1944, the systematic deportation of Hungarian Jews began; in less than two months, 440,000 Hungarian Jews were deported, most of them to Auschwitz.
