The number of persons performing forced labor in Hungary is estimated b^ the Hungarian National Council as follows: 1. Persons sentenced to forced labor because of political attitudes as determined by Act No. VII/1946 and 2. These sentenced by virtue of Act No. XLVÍII/1948, Order No. 4/1950 and other regulations: Total number under groups 1 and 2 15.000. 3. Persons sentenced to corrective labor 5,000. 4. Internees performing forced labor 44,100. 5. Priests, monks, nuns compelled to perform forced labor after dissolution of the religious orders 2,000. 6. Forced laborers among persons deported since the summer of 1950 75.000. 7. Persons compelled 'to perform forced labor after having served their sentence for political reasons 5,000. 8. Wives of political prisoners, who likewise were required to perform forced labor 5,000. Total 151,100. Hungarians performing forced labor in the Soviet Union: 1. Detained war prisoners 60,000. 2. Deported civilians 40,000. 3. Hungarian citizens deported from adjacent territories under Soviet occupation and compelled to perform forced labor 80,000. Total 180,000. Forced labor in industry: 1. Number of artisans performing forced labor, having lost their independence through forcible measures of the regime 100.000. 2. Number of small shopkeepers similarly treated 50,000. 3. Persons mobilized to factory work by Secret Order 3781/11/1952 of the Ministry of Interior 100,000. Total 250,000. Forced labor in agriculture: 1. Number of high school and university students forced to do periodic farm work 63,000. 2. Village youth compelled to forced labor through Secret Order 3781/11/ 1952 80,000. Total 143,000. The staggering total is 724,100 — or 1 person out of every 13 in the country. That forced labor produces a significant area of tension within Communist Hungary goes without saying. In itself slavery is a despicable institution; it creates conditions degrading to the body and to the spirit; it is a factor disruptive to national unity. Forced labor, a modern-day interpretation of slavery, has the same effect, causing the degradation of man and creating likewise vast sources of disharmony, discontent, and disruption. An unnatural state for man wholly incompatible with his dignity as a human being, forced labor fosters a growth of resentment within the imprisoned (as well as their relatives and friends) which is increasingly aggravated by the continuation of a degrading existence.
