Budapest Building Managers and the Holocaust in Hungary Istvan Pal Adam
The Holocaust and its Contexts
Series Editors Olaf Jensen University of Leicester, UK Claus-Christian W. Szejnmann Loughborough University, UK
Aim of the Series More than sixty years on, the Holocaust remains a subject of intense debate with ever-widening ramifications. This series aims to demonstrate the continuing relevance of the Holocaust and related issues in contemporary society, politics and culture; studying the Holocaust and its history broadens our understanding not only of the events themselves but also of their present-day significance. The series acknowledges and responds to the continuing gaps in our knowledge about the events that constituted the Holocaust, the various forms in which the Holocaust has been remembered, interpreted and discussed, and the increasing importance of the Holocaust today to many individuals and communities.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There are a couple of people without whom this book would never have come into being. First of all, I dedicate this work to Magda, without whom I would be an unhappy clerk in public administration, or a mediocre lawyer in a criminal law office. My special thanks go to my PhD supervisors at the University of Bristol: Tim Cole and Josie Mc
