Most sources give a figure of 450,000 Hungarian Jews in the Holocaust. ('Hungarian' refers to Hungary in the borders of 1940-1944. It that time it included the Capartho-Ukraine and parts of Slovakia, Transylvania and Serbia). The victims were transported by train to Auschwitz-Birkenau in May-July 1944, and most were killed soon after arrival.

I belive your list probly more correct then Wikipedia "World War 2 casualties" list! It only lists 200,000 lost to holocaust? and it says 300,000 lost to military deaths? Considering their own country was agaisnt them? How much military fight can you put up? Maybe with they will correct this list in future? Cause i have seen your figure listed many more times then what they have listed on that site?

Hungary's borders changed during World War 2. The figure of 200,000 seems rather low even if it refers to Hungary's prewar boundaries. Incidentally, changes in frontiers are important. Otherwise, one can end up counting some victims twice (or ignoring them altogether).

The Axis History Forum thread (see link) gives a figure of 410,000 as the absolute minimum for Hungary (1940-44 borders).
