1496 STARK TAMÁS fogom tenni a határon. A részleteket Barthával (honvédelmi miniszter - megjegyzés S.T.), Szombathelyivel (a Kárpát-csoport főparancsnoka - megjegyzés S.T.) és a debreceni hadtestparancsnokkal megbeszéltem.”100 A KEOKH vezetője, Siménfalvy Sándor július 12-én adta ki „szigorúan bizalmas” jelzésű körlevelét az „alkalmatlan idegenek” eltávolításáról. Az idegen zsidók galíciai deportálásához vezető hosszú út végéhez ért. THE LONG ROAD TO THE DEPORTATION OF „ALIEN” JEWS TO GALICIA by Tamás Stark Abstract The Hungarian Jewry, which had been treated in a uniform way and regarded en bloc as Hungarian in the liberal period, was conceptually divided into two separate groups by the public conservative figures and the politicians of the governing powers in the interwar period. To one of the groups belonged the assimilated Jews. It also contained those economic leaders who owned enterprises of a key importance, and whose exclusion would have resulted in a decline of production. The other group included the „Galician” Jews who mostly arrived in the second half of the 19th centuiy, who were not regarded as assimilated and were also held to be connected with the Comminist movement. It was upon this division of the Hungarian Jewry into two groups according to a presumed or real inclination to assimilation that the form of anti-semitism which characterised Hungarian public life in the interwar period was based, and it constituted the ideological background to the deportation of 1941. The message of this „moderate” anti-semitism, which became part of official government policy, was that, while the assimilated Jews were not menaced, those „alien”, „Galician” Jews who rejected assimilation, and posed a danger to social order, were not welcome in the countiy, and their removal therefrom would offer a solution of the Jewish problem. The opportunity to implement this solution came with the start of the military campaign against the Soviet Union. For a month beginning in the middle of July in 1941 the Hungarian authorities deported some 22.000 „alien” Jews to the eastern Galician territories under Hungarian military administration. Between 27 and 29 August at the town of Kameniec-Podolsk by the Dniester German police forces, assisted by Ukrainien milicists, murdered 16.000 people among those previously deported there. 100 MNL OL K 429, 38. cs. 1653. sz.
