Summary
In Hungary, during World War II, there were several rescuers who helped the Jewish community to escape or hide. One of them was Otto Komoly, the head of the Rescue Committee. Also spotlighted are the role of allies and the church and thefirst formal statement about the Holocaust issued by the Allies on December 17, 1942.
