The literature generally holds that “the Jewish Question” did not arise even tangentially during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. We will examine the correctness of this assessment, focusing on Jewish participation in the uprising, (non-) antisemitism present during the events, and the components of the fear that arose among the Jews. We will seek to dispel, by means of contemporary documents and an extensive study of the literature, the common misconceptions that exist on many sides about the 1956 revolution in relation to the Jews.
